Openings
Prof. Anqi Zhang's group in the Andrew and Peggy Cherng Department of Medical Engineering at Caltech has two (2) postdoc positions. The group develops minimally invasive electronics for monitoring and modulating neural circuits, with the goal of understanding and treating neurological disorders.
Postdoctoral Scholar #1 – Rodent Stroke Modeling
We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar with strong rodent surgery skills to support ongoing projects at the interface of implantable device technology and disease neuroscience.
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience with rodent MCAO stroke surgery
- Experience with behavioral assessment and histological outcome quantification
- Interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary research
Postdoctoral Scholar #2 – Neural Interface Fabrication and Development
We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar with strong hands-on microfabrication skills to lead device development for implantable neural interfaces.
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience in microfabrication of flexible electronics
- Experience with device characterization and in vitro validation
- Interest in neuroscience and neurological disorder applications
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.
Ph.D. admission for Fall 2026 has been completed. Admitted Caltech students with a 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 contact Prof. Zhang ([email protected]). Preference will be given to self-driven candidates with a solid experimental background.
