PhD and PostDoc Positions Available: Neuro-AI Lab at Technion

About Us: The Technion Neuro-AI Lab is at the forefront of research into the computational mechanisms of biological and artificial neural networks. Our diverse projects range from developing Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for both rodents and humans to creating theoretical and computational models of neural activity, and training cutting-edge machine-learning models, including large language models (LLMs).

University Environment: Join us at Technion, where we offer a world-class research environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary training programs. The lab is part of the Technion AI community (ranked 1st in Europe) and the (nobel prize winning) Medical faculty. There is a vibrant international community and the Lab strongly encourages international mobility, supporting students in undertaking internships and research collaborations abroad (especially if the political situation requires it).
