Open Positions
Positions are open to outstanding and dedicated doctoral and rotations students with a technically oriented mind and a taste for challenge. Preference will be given to individuals from the Sagol Neuroscience Prograpm or to those with background in the following fields: electrophysiology, optics (from physics or engineering) and computing sciences. Also welcoming application for post-doctoral research for scholars with similar background as mentioned above. Please send C.V. and names of referees to
