Postdoctoral Scholar Positions in Magnetic Milli-Spinner Microbots for Endovascular Intervention Stanford University in United States

Stanford University’s Zhao Lab is recruiting three Postdoctoral Scholars for an ARPA-H project on magnetic milli-spinner microbots for endovascular intervention. The project focuses on next-generation robotic microdevices for minimally invasive vascular procedures, including clot debulking, navigation in tortuous vasculature, and autonomous control.

Research directions include computation-guided design and optimization of milli-spinner geometries and operating parameters, machine learning and optimization for design/control acceleration, benchtop experimental validation, vascular flow modeling, magnetic actuation, robotic hardware and imaging integration, and ex vivo/in vivo studies. A second track emphasizes robotic control and autonomy, including motion planning, localization, state estimation, closed-loop control, and AI-enabled autonomous endovascular intervention.

The lab’s research page highlights the broader milli-spinner platform for medical devices, including applications in stroke, heart attack, aneurysm treatment, and kidney stone-related technologies. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in biomedical engineering, robotics, computer science, medical science, and related areas.

Applicants should submit a CV, a brief statement of research interests, up to three representative publications, and contact information for three references. Review begins immediately and continues until all positions are filled. Contact: [email protected].
