The [call for applications](https://apply.interfolio.com/105047) was originally posted April 1, 2022 with a start date in Fall 2022. I view postdocs as valued collaborators who are able to rapidly contribute to existing projects, eventually developing and leading robust independent projects in coordination with me and my faculty collaborators. These scholars bring deep existing expertise and value the opportunity to develop new skills and professional connections on projects of mutual interest. Postdocs will be provided with funds to support their research and the dissemination travel required to achieve high visibility. To the extent possible, I like my postdocs to have access to a cohort of peers for networking and peer mentorship, in addition to formal mentorship from me and from other faculty colleagues directly involved in our joint research projects. -**Update: Cultural Anthropologist [Boh Chun](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bohkyung-Chun-2) has joined the interdisciplinary [Living and Working with Robots](https://bridgingbarriers.utexas.edu/good-systems/projects/living-and-working-with-robots) project as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow!** The [call for applications](https://apply.interfolio.com/105047) was originally posted April 1, 2022 with a start date in Fall 2022. - If you are a recent or expected doctoral graduate interested in embodied sociotechnical systems via campus-scale robot deployments, please get in touch with me at eah13 at utexas.edu. - + # Doctoral Students +My current doctoral advisees include [Yao-Cheng Chan](https://yaochengchan.com/) and [Angjelin Hila](https://angjelinhila.medium.com/). I serve on several doctoral committees at the UT iSchool, Mechanical Engineering, Nursing, and Communication Studies. + I am recruiting doctoral students to work with me on several of my [research]({{site.baseurl}}/research) projects. My goal for all of my students is a powerful combination of social and technical expertise enabling cutting-edge research on sociotechnical systems. The interdisciplinary combination of skills I target for students at the end of their studies is difficult to come by in undergraduate or masters-level study, so my students usually have deep social scientific OR technical training, with a demonstrated and developing interest in the area they're less familiar with. For instance, students might have a humanities background and a developing interest in programming interactive fiction; others might have studied computer science but completed training in sociology or anthropology. That said, there are many paths to the field of information, and I welcome inquiries from potential students of any background. If you reach out, please include a paragraph or so about your research interests, the overlap you see with my work, and a CV or resume, to eah13 at utexas.edu. _If you're interested in working with me as a doctoral student, make sure to include my name in the list of faculty you'd like to work with on the UT iSchool's doctoral application. Make sure to select one or more other [iSchool faculty members](https://www.ischool.utexas.edu/people/ischool-faculty-staff-students) as well. I highly recommend elaborating on how the faculty you've chosen fit your interests somewhere in your narrative application materials._
