Paydarfar

Postdoctoral Researcher / Staff Scientist in Closed-Loop Neurostimulation at The University of Texas at Austin . The Fenno Lab and Paydarfar Lab are jointly recruiting a PhD-level scientist to work at the intersection of computational modeling and translational bioengineering . The project focuses on closed-loop neurostimulation , bespoke waveform shaping, and precise neural control across the peripheral and central nervous system. This role is especially relevant for candidates interested in neuroscience , biomedical engineering , electrical engineering , biology , and computer science . The successful candidate will lead a multidisciplinary team and contribute to work spanning in vitro , in vivo , and human translation. Research responsibilities include developing and applying assays for closed-loop analysis of biological responses to electronic stimulation; owning in vivo validation pipelines in rodents; performing surgical workflows, neural stimulation and recording, behavioral assays, and ex vivo characterization; building custom recording setups with engineering collaborators; and working closely with computational theorists to connect model predictions with biological outcomes. Eligibility highlights: PhD-level training and relevant experience in bioengineering, neuroscience, biology, electrical engineering, or a related field are required. Prior in vivo neuroscience experience in rodents using neural stimulation and/or recording techniques is specifically requested. Funding and terms: The post is described as a post-doc or staff scientist opening. No stipend, salary, tuition, or other funding details are provided in the post. How to apply: Follow the linked posting and submit an application through the provided application link. Interested candidates should review the role carefully and apply promptly.
