About this position

Postdoctoral researcher in fly neuroscience and robotics at EPFL

This postdoctoral project is based in the Neuroengineering Laboratory at EPFL and is centred on understanding how neural circuits in the fly motor system control limb movement and autonomous behaviour in complex environments. The research aims to reverse-engineer insect limb motor control for bioinspired robotics as part of an ERC-funded project.

The successful researcher will work on microscopy-based neural recordings in behaving Drosophila melanogaster, together with computational analysis of the resulting data. Depending on background and interests, the project may also include neuromechanical simulations or the development of robots driven by connectome-constrained artificial neural networks.

The position is designed for a scientist who wants to combine experimental neuroscience, computation, and robotics in a highly interdisciplinary environment. The advert emphasizes collaboration, publication, and participation in the broader research community, and notes that the researcher will interact with internationally renowned experts as well as a strong team of postdoctoral researchers and PhD students at EPFL.

Funding details

ERC-funded project; competitive salary and excellent working conditions; full-time postdoctoral contract up to 5 years.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD or be nearing completion of a PhD. A background in experimental neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and/or robotics is required, along with strong computational and analytical skills, a strong publication record relative to career stage, and excellent written and oral communication skills in English. Candidates should be independent, creative, solution-oriented, highly motivated to explore new research domains, and have good team spirit. Applicants from outside neuroscience are encouraged to apply.

How to apply
