Postdoctoral researcher in fly neuroscience and robotics

Full-time Other-General

Overview

We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher (W/M) to join our laboratory at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) to work on an ERC-funded project aimed at reverse-engineering insect limb motor control for bioinspired robotics. The main focus of this project is how neural circuits in the motor system of the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, orchestrate limb movements and autonomous behavior in complex environments.

Responsibilities

• Perform microscopy-based neural recordings in behaving flies.
• Conduct computational analysis of neural data.
• Undertake neuromechanical simulations and robotics (if interested).

Qualifications

• Postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience or a related field.
• Curiosity, persistence, and passion to explore the mysteries of the brain.
• Candidates from outside the field of neuroscience are encouraged.
