**We are currently seeking graduate students and postdocs to join our lab**

Our group continuously aims to attract new people who want to learn and contribute to medical ultrasound research. We focus on engineering projects related to ultrasound rather than clinical research. The following information is provided to serve as a guide in the process of choosing and joining a lab.

Ph.D. students:

Note for prospective Ph.D. applicants: the application process to Stanford is done through academic departments, and not through individual researchers/labs.  If you haven't already, please visit a departmental admission site related to your field of interest, such as biomedical physics, electrical engineering, bioengineering, or physics. Biomedical physics (BMP) is the radiology department’s own new Ph.D. program. 

If you are already a Stanford Ph.D. student and are interested in ultrasound instrumentation and imaging, we are accepting quarterly rotation students. Experience in ultrasound imaging is not required to perform a rotation! Feel free to reach out to us for more information about the rotation process.

Undergraduate and Master’s Students: 

If you are a Stanford student and are interested in our lab, check out the rest of our website to see if our work aligns with your interests and reach out to us if you wish to learn more and want to work with us! We generally are able to offer research course credits.

We also take in summer students (including students from other schools) through the RSL REU program and the Canary CREST program. Admissions are done through those programs, so apply through those websites if you are interested in working with us on a summer project.

Related skill areas:

Ultrasound research is an interdisciplinary field combining engineering, physics, and medicine; knowledge of or interest in some of the example skills and areas below can be helpful, but are by no means absolutely necessary. Most importantly, if you are interested in medical ultrasound engineering, this lab could be a good fit for you!

Skills:  Strong communication (oral presentation and writing), computer programming (Matlab, C/C++; Unix/Linux experience)

Courses/Subject Areas: (Stanford courses or equivalents)  EE 261 - Fourier Transforms, EE 263 - Linear Systems, EE 264 - Digital Signal Processing

Learn About The Group:  Read about our research (and our people) on this site, consider a research rotation, and contact us with specific questions.

Prospective Post-Doctoral Fellows     

The information about related skills in the students section applies to more senior positions as well. Again, some helpful skills that are not absolutely necessary for joining the lab but can be related to projects going on include the following:

Related skills:  Experience with ultrasound scanners and programming (e.g., Verasonics), molecular imaging, finite element modeling, independent problem solving, ability to work in a team.

If you are interested in applying for an open position, contact Prof. Jeremy Dahl with a cover letter, copy of your CV, research statement, and contact information for several references.

General Notes / Contacting Us

Our group focuses on engineering research and not clinical research; check out our research projects to see the kind of work that we mostly do at the lab.

This group does not offer medical fellowships; please check the Stanford Medicine website for information on finding fellowship programs.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in ultrasound imaging research and have any questions!
