Join Us

The Entangled Ecologies Lab is new and still building its team!

To join us, the best first step is to explore our projects and publications to see if they resonate with your interests. If you believe you are a good fit, please reach out to Dr. Bell.

The lab is particularly looking for students who are interested and skilled in some combination of the following things (in no particular order):

  • Human-Computer Interaction and Interaction Design

  • Biodesign, Bioart, Biomaking, and DIYbio

  • Computational Design, Craft, and Fabrication

  • Material Development, Science, and Engineering

  • Sustainable, Regenerative, and More-Than-Human Design

  • Feminist, Critical, and Embodied Approaches

  • Cooking, Gardening, Fermenting, Composting, and Hiking
