Open research positions

Postdoctoral researchers

The Harvard Microrobotics Lab is not currently seeking postdoctoral researchers. However, current graduate students interested in applying for postdoctoral fellowships (e.g. NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biology, Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program, etc) are welcome to contact Prof. Wood to discuss.

Candidates should send a cover letter briefly describing their background and career plans, a CV, and the names and contact information for at least three references. These documents should be submitted as pdf attachments to Prof. Wood:

Harvard University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and applications from women and underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged.

Graduate student researchers

The Harvard Microrobotics Lab will likely seek 1-2 exceptionally qualified graduate students for the upcoming adminssions cycle (Fall 2014 incoming class).

Undergraduate research opportunities

We welcome Harvard undergraduates who are interested in gaining research experience in the areas of mechanical design, circuit design, microfabrication, fluid mechanics, and controls. Please note that we generally discourage short term projects (single semester) since there is a significant amount of training required prior to participating in one of our research programs. Harvard students interested in long-term (one year or more) intensive research projects are encouraged to contact Prof. Wood.
