Joining the Lab

I am looking for enthusiastic scientists at all levels of experience to join the lab. Please see the research page for current projects (or suggest a topic of your own).

The lab is perched above the Pacific ocean in the Biological Sciences II building on the UCSB main campus. UC Santa Barbara has a thriving intellectual community with all types or research and funding opportunities, and it is hard to think of a more pleasant place to spend a few years. See Location for pictures and details.

Lab Technician

No positions currently available.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduates with a strong background in engineering and/or programming (particularly Matlab or Python) are encouraged to contact me about potential research opportunities.

Graduate Students

My lab is currently accepting graduate students through the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), Psychological & Brain Sciences (P&BS), and Dynamical Neuroscience (DYNS) programs. I encourage you to contact me before submitting your application to help determine which program best fits your research background and interests. If you share the research interests of the lab, you will find it a great place to get training in cutting-edge neuroscience approaches as well as active mentorship for your science and career.

Postdoctoral Fellows

I have a small, graduate-student driven lab. However, I am always open to postdoctoral fellow applications from the right candidates. I will take your mentorship very seriously and do everything I can to help you succeed both in the lab and at the next level.

Requirements: PhD in neuroscience or related field. Some experience with physiology (2-photon imaging or electrophysiology) and basic coding proficiency in Matlab or Python is highly desired, though not strictly necessary.

Location

Our lab is located on the beautiful UC Santa Barbara campus.
