Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is offering multiple postdoctoral fellow positions in Professor Jia Liu's bioengineering lab. The available positions focus on two main research areas: Neuroscience for Brain-Computer Interfaces and Nanoelectronics/Flexible Electronics for biological and medical research. The Neuroscience postdoctoral fellow will work on brain-computer interfaces, with research topics including animal behavior, tissue regeneration, multi-omics, and in vivo electrophysiology. Responsibilities include designing and executing animal experiments and analyzing multimodal biological data. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, electrical engineering, bioengineering, or a related field, and a strong publication record. The Nanoelectronics/Flexible Electronics postdoctoral fellow will focus on designing and fabricating nanoelectronics and flexible electronics, with a requirement for significant cleanroom nanofabrication experience. The role involves collaboration with other researchers to apply these technologies in biological and medical contexts. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and proven expertise in nanofabrication. Both positions require strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as the ability to work independently and collaboratively. The salary range is $67,600 – $91,826, depending on experience and qualifications. The application requires a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and list of references. Applications can be submitted through the Harvard Academic Positions portal or by emailing Professor Jia Liu directly at [email protected]. For further information, see the official postings linked above. Harvard University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds. The lab's research interests span neuroscience, nanoelectronics, flexible electronics, bioengineering, and their applications in medical science.

Professor Jia Liu's Bioengineering Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is recruiting multiple postdoctoral fellows for two distinct research areas: Neuroscience for Brain-Computer Interfaces and Nanoelectronics/Flexible Electronics. The lab focuses on developing tissue-integrated flexible bioelectronic systems and AI tools for multimodal biological measurement and control, with applications in neuroscience, regenerative medicine, and translational bioengineering. 1) Postdoctoral Fellow in Neuroscience for Brain-Computer Interfaces: This position seeks candidates with a strong background in neuroscience, capable of independently conducting research. Focus areas include animal behavior, tissue regeneration, multi-omics, and in vivo electrophysiology. Responsibilities include designing and executing animal experiments, analyzing multimodal biological data, and developing statistical/ML workflows. Preferred experience includes hands-on expertise in in vivo electrophysiology or behavioral paradigms, integrating multi-omics or imaging with functional readouts, and strong coding skills (Python/Matlab). 2) Postdoctoral Fellow in Nanoelectronics/Flexible Electronics: This position is for candidates with extensive expertise in nanofabrication, particularly cleanroom fabrication. The fellow will design and fabricate nanoelectronics and flexible electronics, collaborating with biologists and clinicians to apply these devices in biological and medical research. Preferred experience includes a track record in flexible electronics, soft materials, implantable bioelectronics, device packaging, reliability testing, biocompatible materials, and familiarity with micro/nano-characterization tools (e.g., SEM, AFM). Eligibility: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (electrical engineering, neuroscience, bioengineering, materials science, or related discipline), a strong publication record, and excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Ability to work independently and collaboratively is essential. Minimum of 2 references required. Funding: Salary range is $67,600 – $91,826, depending on experience and qualifications. Application Deadline: January 29, 2026. How to Apply: Email a single PDF to Melissa Mendez ([email protected]) including a cover letter, CV, 1-2 page research statement, and contact information for 2-3 references. Indicate the position you are applying for in the email subject line. For more information, visit the official Harvard Academic Positions postings or contact Professor Jia Liu directly.
