FORM Lab at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan, is hiring a Research Assistant in 3D printing with clay . This opportunity sits at the intersection of architecture , materials science , robotic fabrication , computational design , and digital fabrication , with a strong focus on ceramic-based additive manufacturing and sustainable construction technologies. The selected Research Assistant will contribute to clay-based 3D printing experiments, material preparation and testing, documentation, digital modeling, toolpath generation, fabrication setup, printing trials, post-processing, and research outputs such as visuals and publications. The lab describes the role as a hands-on experimental research environment for students or early-career researchers who want practical experience working with clay and fabrication systems. Preferred background or interest areas include 3D printing, ceramics, Rhino/Grasshopper, robotic fabrication, architectural design, material research, and digital fabrication workflows. The post does not mention a formal degree requirement, funding package, or deadline. To apply, candidates should email a single combined PDF containing a brief statement of interest, CV/portfolio, and relevant work samples to [email protected] .
