Fully funded doctoral positions combine supervision at ETH Zurich with a Max Planck institute or the ELLIS Institute Tübingen. Fellows have a primary research location and complete a mandatory 12-month exchange at their co-supervisor’s site, earning an ETH doctorate. Research spans machine learning, AI for science, computational biology, neuroinformatics, robotics, control and related learning…

Investigate how mice learn and generalize between virtual and real environments in the Optophysiology Lab at IMBIT. The project combines behavioural experiments, neural recordings and quantitative analysis with development and in-vivo validation of a two-photon miniscope. The researcher will contribute to device design, model behavioural and neural data, and help interpret and publish findings.…

Develop non-invasive neurotechnology based on focused ultrasound and targeted drug delivery. Projects may combine hardware and software, MRI-guided targeting, electrophysiology, closed-loop neuromodulation and preclinical experiments, with collaboration on clinical translation.

Neuroscience Trials Australia, part of the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, is recruiting a Senior Clinical Research Associate for its Clinical Operations team. The role leads sponsor monitoring and site activities across a portfolio of academic investigator-initiated and commercially sponsored neuroscience clinical trials: site monitoring, relationships with investigators,…

Basal ganglia are essential for learning and adapting movements, yet their output is often unnecessary for executing learned actions. A biologically grounded model of the closed cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loop explains this apparent discrepancy. Dopamine-dependent plasticity, recurrent cortical dynamics and basal ganglia feedback jointly support early motor acquisition and adaptation,…
