Omer lab Neurophysiology of cognitive processes
The Omer lab at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for brain Sciences (ELSC) –
The Hebrew University, is seeking highly motivated students at all levels (MA,
PhD and Postdoc) to participate in a research program aimed at elucidating the
neural mechanisms of social cognition and navigation in the brain, using a
combination of computational and experimental techniques.
Positions are available for projects related to the neural basis of social cognition
in the hippocampus, and the neural basis of spatial navigation in freely
behaving animals.
Candidates should have a strong scientific background in systems and/or
computational neuroscience, and solid communication skills in English. Individuals
with expertise in neurophysiological recordings and/or computational
background (MATLAB/Python), are particularly encouraged to apply.

PhD position at the Hebrew University – Addiction and Learning and Memory
A PhD position is available at Prof. Rami Yaka at the School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University. The lab investigates the neural pathways and synaptic changes underlying addiction. The main focus for the current position is to study the engagement of learning and memory mechanisms (LTP, LTD) in addiction and how manipulations of these changes can prevent relapse (see recent publication Bingor et al., Nature Comm. 2020). We study these questions in transgenic mice using state-of-the-art electrophysiological, optogenetics, pharmacogenetics and behavioral tools. Experience with electrophysiology or behavior is a plus.
Highly motivated candidates are welcome to contact:

How do neural circuits in the brain allow us to make decisions, interact with each other, and learn?
A new lab in the faculty of medicine, Technion, studies these questions using state-of-the-art tools including multiphoton imaging, a virtual-reality behavioral system for mice, and laser-controlled brain manipulations.
In the lab we investigate the neural activity underlying complex behavior in mice and focus on the brain’s dopamine system, which is essential to many cognitive processes such as decision-making and social behavior. Projects in the lab are varied and suitable to a wide variety of backgrounds (engineering, biology, physics, and more). We currently have openings for undergraduate projects, Masters and PhD students.
