The laboratory of Noam Ziv is seeking an MSc or PhD student to study the processes that allow the preservation of connections among brain cells (synapses) in aging and disease, as part of a large international consortium focused on this topic. The project will involve testing the effects of potentially beneficial treatments using long term imaging, molecular reporters and proteomics. Contact: noamz@technion.ac.il
The neuroscience groups are in an active phase of growth. We are seeking highly motivated individuals for laboratory technicians, graduate studies and post-doctoral associate positions. To inquire, please contact group leaders directly for scientific details, and Dr. Shai Berlin (shai.berlin@technion.ac.il) for information regarding the graduate program (see also Graduate Program).
The Neural circuits for complex behavior lab is just starting and we are seeking students at all levels, including undergraduate projects, MSc and PhD.
Our lab uses advanced optical technology in behaving mice to understand how deep-brain circuits underlie complex behaviors such as decision-making and social behavior. We are especially focused on the brain’s Dopamine system and are also interested in its relation to neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism. Projects in the lab are suited to a wide variety of backgrounds including engineering, biology, computer science, and more.
For details please check out our website (https://engelhardlab.com). Applicants should their CV and a brief statement of research interests to Ben Engelhard at benengelhard@technion.ac.il.

The Neuroimmunology lab is just starting and we are seeking a lab manager, postdocs and graduate students.
Our current main project addresses the question of how the reward system in the brain affects immunity. Techniques involve optogenetics, behavioural manipulations, FACS analysis, cell biology and molecular biology.
For details please check out our website (http://rolls.net.technion.ac.il). Applicants should send letter of interest and CV to Asya Rolls at rolls.asya@gmail.com.
The Spatial Perception and Memory lab is currently seeking a postdoc or PhD student for exciting projects investigating the brain’s navigation circuits. Our goal will be to understand the underlying neural network, and thus to link different levels of analyzing the brain: from the single nerve-cell level, through the level of the neural-network, to the level of the behavior of the whole organism.
For details please check out our website (http://derdiklab.technion.ac.il/). Applicants should send letter of interest and CV to Dori Derdikman at derdik@technion.ac.il.
