Academic year and summer research opportunities are available. Interested UChicago graduate students should apply via GRAD Gargoyle.
Who are we looking for?
STAGE welcomes UChicago graduate students with hybrid interests and skills to work on our theatrical and film productions: scientists and engineers who have experience or interest in theatre and/or film; artists, performers, designers and dramaturgs who have experience or interest in science and/or technology.
STAGE is particularly interested in candidates who are inspired by STAGE's non-traditional method of devising stories through collective research and collaborative play. STAGE requires that graduate students commit to a minimum of two-quarters of work with the Lab.
Current project openings:
