OPEN POSITIONS:
Postdoctoral Fellow! Please see here: https://recruiting.epfl.ch/Vacancies/3178/Description/2
Software Engineers! Please see here: https://recruiting.epfl.ch/Vacancies/3124/Description/2 and here: https://recruiting.epfl.ch/Vacancies/3322/Description/2
PhD student in systems neuroscience! We are recruiting for an experimentalist to work on understanding adaptive learning in complex VR worlds, please apply to EDNE at EPFL and flag our lab!
PhD student in computer vision! We are recruiting a student to work with us on next-generation models to support real-time 3D pose estimation, please apply through EDIC or EDEE at EPFL!
Masters thesis student in 2024 and/or 2025!
We have two openings for students master thesis projects (min. 6 month commitment) in the lab that build on our strong prior work on multi-modal modeling with machine learning for neuroscientific data analysis (building on our work on cebra in Nature, May 2023), and another project on computational models of sensorimotor control building on work in eLife, May 2023). Both positions require programming in python, pytorch, and having a background in machine learning.
Masters student semester projects in Fall 2024, Spring 2025
We are excited to welcome students to work with us on self supervised learning for behavioral, neural, and cell analysis. See our prior works on cebra, deeplabcut, and cellseg3D for inspiration!
Industry Internships @ Kinematik AI
We have a spin off called Kinematik AI that is co-founded by an ex-Harvard and ex-Facebook team that aims to build more naturally intelligent software systems. Get in touch if you’d like to work in this new exciting start up tackling big challenges across sectors: team@kinematik.ai

Applications for 2024 lab masters/bachelor’s/interns are filled.
I am applying for a:
Postdoctoral Fellow position:
Please check our specific positions (if open) below; be prepared to send us (via the form below OR linked ad):
Cover letter: A a concise statement (no more than 1 page) outlining your past research and why our lab is a good fit.
CV (including a link to your Google Scholar profile, GitHub, and/or scientific website).
A publication (or pre-print) you authored.
Research idea: Please include a very concise (~no more than 0.5 page) "research direction” you would want to work on (this is not binding, it's just an exercise to start a dialogue).
Contact information for 2-3 references available.
We can consider those with external funding, independent of our positions below: Horizon Europe Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships, EPFLeaders4impact Postdoctoral Fellowships
Neuro-engineers, Software engineers, & research assistants:
Better code, better data = better research. We have positions often open in our group for individuals who want to work on software, database infrastructure, hardware engineering, or as research assistants (mouse training, experimental work).
Specific opens would be posted on our website, otherwise please reach out and apply via the form below.
EPFL PhD student position:
I take students from EDNE, EDEE, EDRS, and EDIC. Please apply directly to these programs and list me as a potential advisor. Admission is based on each programs committee. After you apply, feel free to reach reach out, but beforehand I cannot conduct pre-screenings.
ELLIS or visiting PhD Student position:
We do consider PhD students from other universities to join our group for co-supervision or short research stays. If you are applying to ELLIS, please tag me as a potential advisor. If you are already admitted elsewhere, please submit the form below to contact me.
An EPFL Master’s student:
I’m happy to supervise Master’s projects and theses. If you’re interested in doing a project with us, please submit the form below with your CV, transcript, and a short statement of your interests.
We are currently affiliated with the School of Life Sciences (SV): Master’s in Life Sciences Engineering & School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC): Master’s in Data Science
Summer internships:
If you are a Bachelor’s or Master’s student at another university, please apply through the Summer@EPFL program, or the DeepLabCut AI Residency Program.
If you are a PhD student, please see the visiting PhD student section above!
Internship or Masters thesis projects from non-EPFL students:
Please send your application via the form below. We have a limited number of spots, and we typically fill them 6-12 months in advance, so please reach out early!
EPFL bachelor’s student projects:
We are very happy to host students for bachelor’s projects. Due to the nature of our work, these are typically computational neuroscience and computer vision-based projects, although you can also gain exposure to animal-based experimental work. Spots for the semester do fill fast, so please be sure to reach out in advance, and check the announcements below! Then, please apply via the form.
