Postdoctoral Engineer in Optical Systems for Neuroscience Research
We are recruiting a highly motivated and talented optics engineer to design, build, and implement novel optical devices for brain-wide imaging and neural stimulation in freely moving animals (e.g. larval zebrafish).
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop advanced optical systems for manipulating neural circuits across the brain.
  • Build and integrate optical microscopy platforms for high-resolution imaging and optogenetic control in vivo.
  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of researchers to support complex behavioral experiments.
Application Requirements:
  • Experience in designing and building custom optical systems. Familiarity with Zemax and CAD software.
  • Strong programming skills in C++, Rust, or similar languages. CUDA experience is a plus.
  • Passion for interdisciplinary research in an innovative and collaborative environment.
