join Us

We always welcome people who are interested in human cognition to join us. There are different opportunities to get involved and please reach out to Dr. Jie Zheng with the instructions listed below.

Research Assistants

We have small projects for undergraduate students, and post-baccalaureate students who can contribute at least 10 hrs per week. Note that these are volunteering positions. For those interested, please send a short paragraph about why our group and your expectations from this learning experience, along with a CV. 

We’re not able to take high school volunteers, but we truly appreciate your enthusiasm for science. Both life and science are long journeys, enjoying your summer before college is something you’ll never regret. :)

Graduate Students at UC Davis

Our lab is fully staffed at this moment, so we are not taking on new Ph.D. students for now. Good luck with your graduate school application!

Postdoc Fellows

We do not have any openings for postdoc fellows at this moment. Exceptions might be considered for extraordinary candidates.

Please reach out if you want to gain training in human intracranial electrophysiology, and have relevant background in some (not necessarily all) of the following areas, e.g., cognitive neuroscience, signal processing, and system development/troubleshooting for open-source or commercial electrophysiology equipment. Please send us a paragraph about why our lab and your major achievements during your Ph.D., along with a CV and contact information for 1-3 referees.
