Open Positions will begin to be posted about 6 weeks before each deadline.
Candidates should keep in mind to indicate “hiring labs” when filling in the 3-5 labs in which they are interested in the on-line application.
The PhD program will communicate to you by mid-May if your application is selected or not for an invitation to the Hiring Days – June 2025. We would like to encourage you to apply to the EPFL “Neuroscience” PhD program!
Blanke Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience 2 positions
- Use of artificial intelligence and non-invasive brain stimulation to investigate perception in healthy participants and neurological patients – more information
- Investigation of brain mechanisms of social visual perception through AI and high-resolution fMRI – more information
Gräff Laboratory of Epigenetics, one position
In this project, we are interested in deciphering the epigenetic mechanisms of memory formation, storage and change, in particular with respect to traumatic memories. Specifically, we hypothesize that epigenetic marks can serve as readouts of past neuronal activity, with the potential to molecularly encode memories in the long run. Your background is ideally situated at the crossroads of molecular/epigenetic biology and bioinformatics, complemented with past experience and/or a strong interest in memory research. The starting date for this position is fall 2025.
Hummel Laboratory of Clinical Neuroengineering, 2 positions,
- ‘Non-invasive Deep Brain Stimulation to enhance cognitive functions in Traumatic Brain Injury (nDBS-TBI)’ – more information
- ‘ReverseStroke’ – more information
Kim Laboratory – Brand new EPFL Laboratory of Molecular and Synthetic Neuroengineering – is seeking motivated PhD students to join their interdisciplinary team exploring how the brain microenvironment influences tumor progression and
signaling. More information
Mathis A. Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience & AI has openings for students to reverse-engineer the circuits of sensorimotor control, advance skill learning as well as develop state of the art behavioral analysis tools (pose estimation, action segmentation, ReID)
McCabe Laboratory of Neural Genetics is recruiting neuroscientists to work in our group to investigate neuronal circuit and synapse ensemble function in the motor system. Our laboratory aspires towards a fundamental understanding of motor systems in Drosophila and to leverage this knowledge to ameliorate human motor system dysfunction during ageing and in the diseases ALS, FTD and SMA. isa
Petersen Laboratory of of Sensory Processing encourages highly motivated students with a strong background in neuroscience, electrophysiology, imaging, data analysis or computational modelling to apply for PhD positions in the fields of reward-based learning and context-dependent sensory processing in mice.
Ramdya Laboratory of Neuroengineering reverse-engineers cognitive and motor behaviors in the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to better understand the mind and to design more intelligent robots. Flies are an ideal model: they generate complex behaviors, their nervous systems are small, and they are genetically malleable. Our lab develops and leverages advanced microscopy, machine learning, genetics, and computational modeling approaches to address systems-level questions. We are always looking for talented researchers to join our team. Join us! There is much to discover!
Zhang Laboratory of Bio-Iontronics, the mission is to make bioiontronic synthetic tissues for applications in medicine. To that end, we are interested in developing synthetic tissues with key functions of embodied energy, logic control, stimuli-responsiveness, and therapeutics delivery, enabling interactive communication with biology. Open positions, more information.
More positions may be still posted! Please check this list regularly and contact the EDNE administrator if you have already finalized your application and would like to add on another lab interest.
