OPEN POSITIONS

We are seeking to recruit multiple post-doctoral researchers to our group. Positions are funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and private foundations.

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in a related field including but not limited to Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Neurobiology, Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Material Science, and Mathematics. Experience developing optical systems is preferred. Experience with micro/nano fabrication, in vivo electrophysiology/imaging, rodent cranial surgery and advanced biological imaging (two-photon and confocal microscopy) are desired. Successful candidate will work on developing multi-scale neuro-imaging platforms. He/she will be working with a highly interdisciplinary team of neural engineers, neuroscientists, physicists, biologists, and material scientists.

Interested candidates should submit curriculum vitae, the names of three references, a statement of research experience, and date of availability to Prof. Suhasa Kodandaramaiah (suhasabk@umn.edu).
