Park Research Lab

Postdoctoral Opening
We are seeking postdoctoral fellows who are interested in initiating a new research program to develop a neuron-electronic interface and to probe spatiotemporal dynamics of hippocampal neural networks. Specifically, we are looking for candidates who have a Ph.D. degree in neurobiology, biophysics, or electrical engineering and who are willing to work in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment.

We are also interested in outstanding postdoctoral fellows in nanoscience.

The candidates should send his/her CV and three letters of recommendation to the laboratory administrator (creson at chemistry.harvard.edu).

Our work was published in Nature Nanotechnology and featured as a cover article.

Our collaborative work with the groups of Aviv Regev and Nir Hacohen was published in Cell and was featured as a cover article.
