Recruitment
We are recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and technicians. Write me an email if you are interested in joining the group or doing a research rotation.
In particular, we are now looking for people with experience in: directed evolution, neuroscience, in vivo work, and ultrasound device development, but willingness to learn new things is the most important.
See possible research projects, and contact information.
