Topic: open-source tools

Develop electromagnetic-transient models and simulation algorithms for electricity networks, generators, inverters and large loads. Integrate component models into open-source tools and improve large-scale simulation and automated analysis for reliable power systems. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no closing date is stated. Initial appointment up to 24 months, with extensions dependent on performance and funding.

Develop data-based mechanistic models of mouse and human tissue development. Integrate quantitative imaging with mathematical simulations, collaborate with experimentalists and contribute to open-source tools and teaching. This salaried doctoral position is based in Basel and accepts applications on a rolling basis until filled. Apply through the ETH online recruitment portal.

Supports agentic AI research and open-source tools, including multi-agent collaboration, scientific discovery, autonomous trajectory verification, and customization through post-training or optimization of prompts, tools and agent scaffolding. Research may address safe agent behavior, data integration, enterprise operation and human–AI collaboration. Submit a scientific proposal using the ARA template, encouraged to be no more than four pages excluding appendices. Decisions are expected in February 2027. Applications close on 4 November 2026 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.

Open-source tools are gaining an increasing foothold in neuroscience. The rising complexity of experiments in systems neuroscience has led to a need for multiple parts of experiments to work together seamlessly. This means that open-source tools that freely interact with each other and can be understood and modified more easily allow scientists to conduct better experiments with less effort than closed tools. Open Ephys is an organization with team members distributed all around the world. Our mission is to advance our understanding of the brain by promoting community ownership of the tools w

The public has a fascination with the brain, but little attention is given to neuroscience education prior to graduate studies in brain-related fields. One reason may be the lack of low cost and engaging teaching materials. To address this, we have developed a suite of open-source tools which are appropriate for amateurs and for use in high school, undergraduate, and graduate level educational and research programs. This lecture will provide an overview of our mission to re-engineer research-grade lab equipment using first principles and will highlight basic principles of neuroscience in a "DI
