Openings

Prof. Anqi Zhang's group in the Andrew and Peggy Cherng Department of Medical Engineering at Caltech is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to develop next-generation implantable neural interfaces. Our group develops minimally invasive electronics for monitoring and modulating neural circuits, with the goal of understanding and treating neurological disorders.

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with strong hands-on microfabrication experience to lead the fabrication, characterization, and development of flexible neural interface devices.

Qualifications

· Strong hands-on experience in microfabrication of flexible electronics

· Experience with device characterization and in vitro validation

· Experience with in vivo neural modulation

· Interest in neuroscience and applications to neurological disorders

Prospective candidates are encouraged to review the lab's current research directions at https://zlab.caltech.edu/research.

To apply, please email Prof. Anqi Zhang at [email protected] with your anticipated start date, research interests, and a CV highlighting your research experience and accomplishments.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and selected candidates will be contacted for an interview.

Students with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering or science, especially in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Neuroscience, Chemistry, and Physics, are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to self-driven candidates with a solid experimental background.

Prospective Ph.D. students are encouraged to contact Prof. Zhang ([email protected]) with their research interests and a CV detailing their research achievements. Ph.D. applications for Fall 2027 should be submitted by December 15, 2026, following the instructions provided here: https://mede.caltech.edu/apply
