JOINING OUR TEAM

We are actively seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers of all stages, including postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students to join our team, and we provide a supportive environment and value the continued growth and success of all lab personnel.

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available. We are interested in postdocs with expertise in one or several of the following areas:

Experimental neuroscience with expertise in optogenetics and in vivo imaging (or electrophysiology)
Computational neuroscience
Machine learning
Bioinformatics
Experimental molecular biology with expertise in RNA-seq

Candidates (even those trained in experimental biology) with strong mathematical and computational background are highly preferable. Candidates with pure computational background are not required to have wet lab skills but are expected to work closely with experimental biologists. Candidates who do not have training in above areas but have exceptionally strong publication records will be considered. Email your application to whong@ucla.edu, and include a CV, a summary of your current and future research interests, and names of three references.

For perspective graduate students, you are encouraged to apply directly to an interdepartmental Ph.D. Program at UCLA
(see UCLA Graduate Programs in Bioscience). Rotation positions are available for first year graduate students.

Thank you for your interests!
