Open Positions

Join us!

Open Positions:

We are always actively looking for Undergraduate and Master’s students with interests in Behavioral Analysis & Modeling Sensorimotor Learning. We are also regularly recruiting PhD students. If you want to join the lab as a postdoctoral fellow, please check out the following programs: SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the EPFL AI Center Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Our Research Themes:

1) Machine Learning Tools for Animal Behavior Analysis - We strive to develop computer vision and machine learning tools for the analysis and quantification of animal behavior. Published work in this field includes DeepLabCut, a popular open-source software tool for pose estimation. For action segmentation, check out DLC2action, AmadeusGPT, hBehaveMAE as well as WildCLIP. Let us know if you are interested in those topics!

2) Modeling of Sensorimotor Control and Skill Learning - We develop normative theories of neural systems that are trained to perform sensorimotor behaviors as well as task-driven & data-driven models (e.g., DeepDraw, Task-driven-Proprioception, DMAP, Lattice, Arnold & Kinesis). We also compare and contrast those with data from mice, and primates incl. humans performing motor skills.

We are passionate about open-source code. Check out our group’s GitHub page!

We are looking for motivated individuals with a background in mathematics, computer science, computational neuroscience and related fields.
