Join us!
We are looking to recruit research assistants/engineers, graduate students, masters students, visiting students, and postdoctoral fellows! Postings for specific positions are below! In the meantime, if you're interested in joining or learning more about the lab please get in touch with Preeya (pkhanna at berkeley dot edu).
Please include in your email your CV, a brief description of your research background and experience, the position you're interested in (e.g. graduate student, postdoc, research assistant/engineer), and a description of why you're interested in the lab. Also please note in your email if you've had research experience in any of the following areas: team software engineering projects, signal processing, AI/reinforcement learning, neurophysiological data analysis, systems/computational neuroscience, design of behavioral setups with sensors/actuators, or animal behavioral training.
If you are prospective graduate student for Fall 2027, please include "GSR2027" in the subject line of your email. I am able to accept students from the Neuroscience graduate program (https://neuroscience.berkeley.edu/grad), Berkeley-UCSF Bioengineering program (https://bioegrad.berkeley.edu/), and the EECS graduate program (https://eecs.berkeley.edu/academics/graduate/) and am recruiting! It is really helpful to know you are interested in the lab -- please do email me to indicate that interest. However, please know that due to the large volume of requests I receive via email I likely will not have an opportunity to reply to you directly. I will read your email, but it will often be after official applications have been submitted.
New! We are looking to hire a Berkeley undergraduate research assistant to join the lab this Spring 2026. This role will involve 12–15 hours per week, with an ideal start date of March 30, though an early April start is also fine. The role will include a mix of hands-on hardware and fabrication work, coding, and data analysis. Experience with Python and basic data analysis, signal processing, or statistics is especially helpful. Prior experience with soldering is a plus, but we are happy to teach soldering, fabrication, and soft materials skills as part of the role. There may also be opportunities to assist with human participant studies. If the position is a good fit, there may be the possibility to continue into the summer and beyond. To apply, please email hanna_schlegel@berkeley.edu (and cc pkhanna@berkeley.edu) with [kinematicsSpring26] in the subject line and with your CV, a brief description of your research background and experience, if any, and why you are interested in the lab. We will be contacting competitive candidates for an interview in the next week.
