Postdoctoral and Research Assistant Positions in Cross-Species Neuro-AI at University of Oxford and Trinity College Dublin

Exciting opportunities are available for postdoctoral researchers and a pre-doctoral research assistant to join the cross-species Neuro-AI research team led by Sean Froudist-Walsh at the University of Oxford and Trinity College Dublin. The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cognition across species, aiming to uncover general principles of brain function and improve the translation of animal neuroscience studies to human brain treatments. This work is funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, specifically the project "Anatomy-driven AI for Translational and Cognitive Neuroscience." The team is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers and one research assistant. The postdoctoral positions are long-term, providing an excellent foundation for those aspiring to faculty careers. The research assistant role is designed to offer a paid, pre-PhD research experience, particularly supporting candidates from low socioeconomic and underrepresented backgrounds who are interested in pursuing a PhD in neuroscience or AI. Key research areas include neuroscience, artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience, translational neuroscience, and cross-species studies of brain function. The positions are based at the University of Oxford and Trinity College Dublin, offering a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. Applicants should have a strong background in neuroscience, cognitive science, or related fields. Postdoctoral candidates must hold a PhD, while research assistant applicants should have at least a bachelor's or master's degree. Experience or interest in cross-species research, translational neuroscience, or AI is highly valued. These roles are fully funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. While specific salary or stipend details are not provided, all positions are paid, and the research assistant role is specifically intended to make research accessible to those who might not otherwise afford it. To apply, candidates should use the University of Oxford job portal links provided in the announcement. For informal inquiries, contact Sean Froudist-Walsh via LinkedIn. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience and AI in a supportive and innovative academic setting.
