Leaning towards getting it, but the cure system is horrible. Biggest question: can you still change your console clock to beat the End? 😬

UT is a rewarding place to work + Austin is an amazing place to live (heat aside).

The market is tough right now and folks are rightfully concerned. Due to UT’s resources + new lab grants (incl state funding), we expect a stable funding environment for postdocs + opportunities for your own funding.
