Jobs and interns 2014

The MArkUP group at the University of Arkansas may only be 2 years old (barely), but we have made great progress.  A prime measure of that progress is the success of the students in our group, which I have summarized below.  Note two of the hires are in the geophysicist category, something new for Geoscience graduates at UofA.

As MArkUP slowly got started over the last 4 semesters, these students have supported themselves with teaching assistantships, part-time jobs or student loans.  There are other good students who have had to look elsewhere because MArkUP had no funding to support them.

Our work is getting recognition, our students are getting hired. MArkUP is ready and willing to work with industry partners in any way that can support graduate students. Please contact Prof. Chris Liner for further discussions.
