Postdoc positions

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

Candidates should have a relevant background and strong expertise in one or more of the following areas: microfabrication, surface chemistry, animal surgery, and histology.

Prospective candidates should review the lab's current directions at the research page https://zlab.caltech.edu/research and 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.
