The Hawkes Lab is always looking for enthusiastic, motivated individuals to join our group. We are committed to a lab that is a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all people, and we do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, or other forms of oppression. We welcome a diversity of thoughts, perspectives, and experiences.
Open positions will be advertised on the lab website, social media, and the NCSU jobs site.
