Biomechanics and Neurobiology of Fish Locomotion
Jimmy Liao is looking for creative, independent and motivated graduate students that are enthusiastic about using new technology and techniques to understand the mechanisms of animal behavior. He welcomes students from diverse backgrounds (neuroscience, physiology, ecology, engineering etc.) and believes that interest and aptitude can make up for a lack of training.
If you are interested please email:
- C.V. or summary of your research interests and academic background
- Copies of your transcripts (unofficial is fine)
- One-page essay on why you want to pursue a Ph.D., how our interests might overlap, and your professional ideas and goals.
