We currently have openings for prospective Postdoctoral Associates, Research Assistants, Graduate Students, and Undergraduate Students. We are open to Visiting Scholars as well. See details below, and please inquire at: y_zhang [at] mail.tsinghua.edu.cn.

​Applicants with computational backgrounds, gene editing experience or in vivo/in vitro electrophysiology expertise, are especially encouraged to apply, (but all applicants are welcome)!

Why join the Z-Lab

We aim to build a world renowned laboratory at Tsinghua University seeking new insights into brain function in health and disease. All team members are expected to create the history of the Z-Lab and benefit from the process. Everyone will have the opportunity to investigate questions that interest them the most while also complying with the overarching theme of our laboratory. Our goal is to help establish the Z-Lab in neuroscience research and along the way support each team member to reach their maximum potential. You can expect a healthy environment in the Z-Lab full of motivation, support, and fun.
