Openings

Prof. Anqi Zhang's group in the Department of Medical Engineering at Caltech has postdoc and Ph.D. positions in flexible brain-machine interfaces. The group develops innovative tools for the modulation and monitoring of neural circuits through electronic, chemical, and genetic engineering. The ultimate goal is to bring novel technology from the laboratory to the clinic to understand and treat neurological disorders.

For the postdoc positions:

Individuals with a Ph.D. degree from all engineering and science majors, especially Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics, are encouraged to apply. We especially welcome self-motivated candidates with hands-on experience in areas such as bioelectronics, microrobotics, microfabrication, animal surgery, and signal processing.

Interested candidates should contact Prof. Zhang ([email protected]) with their anticipated start date, research interests, and a CV outlining their research accomplishments. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and selected candidates will be contacted for an interview.

For the Ph.D. positions:

Students with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering or science, especially in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, 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 2026 should be submitted by December 2025, following the instructions provided here: https://mede.caltech.edu/apply
