Opportunities

We are an engaging and dynamic group, looking for highly motivated, dedicated, and self-driven students and postdocs with interests and/or skills in circuit design, signal processing, machine learning, programming, biomedical imaging, optics, medical robotics, and human health (or any combination thereof).
Deep Learning Postdoc Position Available Immediately: See PULSE Lab Postdoc Ad for more details. 
Other Postdocs: Email your CV, research interests, and links to two representative papers to mledijubell@jhu.edu and cc: pulselab@jhu.edu.
PhD Students: Apply to the ECE, BME, and/or CS Department(s) and mention Prof. Muyinatu Bell in the application. Optional: Send an email to mledijubell@jhu.edu and cc: pulselab@jhu.edu after you apply.
MS Students: Research projects for credit are available for students currently enrolled in the Masters program at JHU.  A minimum commitment of 10-15 hours per week is required. Email your CV and research interests to be considered.
Undergrads: Will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Summer research opportunities are available through our NSF REU Program. Academic year paid opportunities are available through PURA. Research projects may be available for credit during the school year. Email your CV, research interests, and anticipated time commitment to be considered.

Note from Prof. Bell: I receive a large volume of emails from prospective students inquiring about research opportunities in the PULSE Lab. Only applicants selected for interviews will be contacted. Thank you for your understanding, as I simply do not have the capacity to run my own admissions office. If you are interested in joining my lab and you are not currently a student here, your first step is to apply to the ECE Department,  BME Department, and/or CS Department at JHU and mention my name in your application. I can then evaluate your application during the regular admission period, see how you rank against other applicants, and assess your fit based on the status of new and ongoing projects at that time. I tend to take 1 or 2 new students each year, thus it is best for everyone if I defer any recommendation until I see the entire pool of applicants. Admissions decisions are ultimately made by the Department, not myself. If you are already here at JHU, please provide the information requested above to be considered. Thanks so much for your interest in my lab!
