Interested?

We are seeking biologists, computational scientists, and engineers with a passion for studying the brain. Future colleagues will join a collaborative lab culture.

 

**** NEW ****

Starting in 2025, seeking computational neuroscientists interested in data analysis and machine learning models of high-level vision. 2-year projects at the interface of neuroscience and AI. Ideal for postbac, master's, or postdoc.

 

  • Graduate (rotation) - The lab always welcomes rotating graduate students from many departments at Columbia (Neurobiology & Behavior, Integrated Biology, Biomedical life sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science). Short-term projects in neural & behavioral experiments and computational modeling are available. Why rotate through here? The lab offers unique exposure to the areas of high-level vision, primate neurophysiology, biological learning algorithms, and systems engineering -- we thrive through the interdisciplinary interactions of diverse scientists.

     

  • Graduate (thesis) - Prospective graduate students can apply to Columbia Neurobiology & Behavior and/or to Biomedical Engineering at Columbia. NBB is administered through the medical school (CUIMC) and is based on general acceptance to the department with students performing 1-3 lab rotations in their first year. The BME program is administered through the engineering school (SEAS) and is based on direct acceptance into the preferred lab with students having a robust course load in the first year (waived if entering with a master's degree).

 

 

  • Research Technician - The research technician is involved in multiple projects in the lab as part of a small, collegial group. Quantitative or engineering background, a plus. Please contact us and include a CV and the names of at least two references.

 

  • Undergraduate - Please contact us directly to discuss possible undergraduate research experiences.
