Topic: model organisms

Investigate how neural circuits generate and regulate behaviour in model organisms. The search emphasizes large-scale measurements and perturbations of neural activity, molecular tools, functional recording and complex behaviours in naturalistic environments. The successful scholar joins Biology or Psychological and Brain Sciences, develops independent research and teaches and mentors students. Priority review is 15 November 2026.

A panel examines whether a static synaptic wiring diagram can reveal a specific learned memory. The discussion addresses experimental designs and benchmarks, connectome proofreading bottlenecks, definitions of memory, differences across model organisms and the technological and conceptual limits of connectome decoding. The publisher notes imperfect audio and provides a subtitled video version.
