Employment
The Laboratory of Space Systems and Optomechanics (LASSO) at the University of Arizona is seeking motivated graduate students and postdoctoral candidates in Optics, Physics, Engineering, and related areas to join our dynamic group and conduct research in our on-going projects and international collaborations. Areas of interest include precision laser interferometry, cavity optomechanics, inertial sensing, quantum optics, and space technologies.
LASSO’s research involves technology development related to ground and space based gravitational wave observatories such as LIGO and LISA, as well as NASA efforts for future geodesy space missions, among other areas.
For further information, please contact Dr. Felipe Guzman.

Graduate student positions
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA STUDENTS
LASSO, the Laboratory of Space Systems and Optomechanics at the University of Arizona, is currently looking to take on new graduate students.
If you are an undergraduate student interested in our research topics, feel free to contact me and please suggest a time to meet, ideally within my office hours.
STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
If you are a student who is from outside of the University of Arizona and are interested in pursuing graduate studies in the group, you must first apply and be admitted to the College of Optical Sciences or another graduate program at the University of Arizona. Direct contact with faculty does not affect the formal admissions process of the University of Arizona. Please see the respective department websites for details on applying and being admitted to the university.

For international students: please note that most graduate schools in the US operate on a standard admissions cycle, which will likely be different to graduate programs in other countries. This usually includes an application process that happens in the late-fall/early-winter, acceptance notifications in the spring, and positions starting concurrent with the fall semester of the next academic year. Typically, applications outside of this period cannot be considered until the following cycle.
For further information, please contact Dr. Felipe Guzman.
