Join Us
In general, we are looking for enthusiastic, computationally minded individuals with a shared passion for bionic vision. If you are interested in joining us, please check our Lab Manual to familiarize yourself with our lab culture, policies, and expectations.
We use a centralized waitlist for all prospective lab members. If you have specialized experience and wish to be considered for a Senior RA role, you may indicate this preference in the form, but please note that these spots are limited.
Junior Lab Trainees
The Junior Lab Trainee program is the primary entry point for undergraduates (particularly PBS and CS students) to join the Bionic Vision Lab. This role is designed as a structured introduction to research, allowing you to learn how we think about science while contributing to our ongoing studies. This role entails:
- Research literacy: You will attend bi-weekly meetings to read and discuss scientific papers relevant to visual prostheses and neuroengineering.
- Active participation: You will serve as a reliable participant in our behavioral studies (XR, psychophysics, etc.).
- Pathway to growth: While promotions are never guaranteed, successful completion of a quarter as a Junior Trainee is often a prerequisite for becoming a Senior Research Assistant.
How to apply: We accept a limited cohort of trainees every quarter. To be considered, please join our waitlist.
All Other Positions
Our lab is currently at capacity for Senior RAs, PhD students, and postdocs. At this time, we are unable to accommodate summer interns or high school students.

We receive many applications each year. To help us give fair consideration to all candidates:- Please do not send generic or copy-and-paste emails. Applications must show genuine familiarity with our work.
- Do not use AI/LLM-generated statements. As an AI lab, we can tell the difference, and it will not make a good impression.
- There is no need to send multiple follow-up emails.
