We are looking for curious and talented individuals who share our vision of helping the blind see again.
We are an interdisciplinary group working at the intersection of computer science, neuroscience, and psychology.
We value a strong work ethic, independence, clarity of thought, creativity, optimism,
and computational/programming skills.
We practice open science, and we know that science is at its best
when it is diverse.
It doesn’t matter where you’re from – it just matters where you want to go.
If these values resonate with you, read on.
Postdocs
Please contact Michael with your CV and a brief statement
of research accomplishments, interests, and career plans.
Check the Research section to see a list of projects we are particularly interested in.
To be considered, you will need at least one publication
in a high-quality international conference (computer science)
or journal (neuroscience)
and you need to have a reasonable chance of getting a fellowship
to support your stay at UCSB.
Graduate Students
If you are a UCSB graduate student looking for a lab,
please contact Michael to set up a time to meet.
If you are looking for a graduate position and you are not already at UCSB,
please first apply to one of the following Graduate programs:
You will then be able to indicate your wish to work with Michael in the “Major and Degree Objective” tab under
“Research Interests”.
Please know that we get a lot of emails from prospective Grad students.
If you decide to contact Michael before applying to the program,
you can make your application stand out by demonstrating that you have spent some time on our website
and thought hard about why bionic vision is a good fit for your skills and interest.
Undergraduate Students
If you are a UCSB undergraduate, please contact Michael
with your prior experience and your transcript (unofficial is fine)
and we can arrange a meeting.
In general, undergraduates in our lab work for academic credit
or on a volunteer basis.
