JOINING THE LAB
We have several open positions for students and postdocs in the area of neuroengineering with particular emphasis on nanofabrication, photonics, magnetics, imaging, and electrophysiology. Students with experience in these areas are particularly encouraged to apply; however, we prioritize talent, enthusiasm, and commitment over any specific training. Many of our most successful lab members had no prior biology training. If you are interested in joining the lab please take a look below:
