Position Summary
The Jiang Lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher
position. The postdoctoral researcher will lead independent
research projects focused on developing next-generation
neurotechnology and biomedical imaging methods, with particular
emphasis on optical, ultrasound, and photoacoustic technologies.
Working under the supervision of Dr. Ying Jiang, the candidate will
contribute to the development of innovative approaches for neural
circuit interrogation while collaborating with interdisciplinary
research teams and mentoring graduate and undergraduate
students.
This is an excellent opportunity for early-career scientists
looking to develop a strong publication record and build an
independent research trajectory within a highly collaborative and
well-resourced environment.
Responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments,
developing and integrating photoacoustic and ultrasound systems,
validating technologies in animal models, and performing
quantitative data analysis and computational modeling. The
researcher will be expected to prepare manuscripts and conference
presentations, contribute to grant proposals, help establish new
technical capabilities and research directions within the
laboratory, and work independently while contributing to a dynamic
and collaborative research environment.
Basic Qualifications
Required:
- Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering,
mechanical engineering, applied physics, neuroscience, or a closely
related field
