Opportunities

We are looking for bright and motivated scientists, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates to join our group!

Interested scientists and postdoc candidates, potential rotation graduate  students, and motivated undergraduates should send inquiries to rairan -at- stanford.edu.

Our research spans varied fields including nanoparticle chemistry, focused ultrasound, molecular imaging, behavioral neuroscience, neuro-electrophysiology, and applied math. If your interests match ours, please do not hesitate to contact us!

In particular, we are seeking a motivated materials scientist or chemist to help us extend our uncaging platform to different drugs and agents, as part of an actively-funded effort to take our drug-loaded nanoparticles through the process of clinical translation. Please see our advertised position here.

Other particular areas of interest for us for new team members are:

• Behavioral neuroscientists or electrophysiologists to implement and test particular neuroscientific applications of noninvasive neuromodulation via ultrasonic drug uncaging, or to design new analysis methodologies for our neural time-series and imaging data
• Ultrasound engineers who can help us design and implement hardware and software better suited to applying ultrasonic drug uncaging to small and large animal models, and eventually for clinical use
