Open Positions

Postdoctoral Researchers, Senior Researchers, Graduate Students, and Research Assistants

The Neuroscience-inspired AI group at the Center for Memory and Glioscience, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), South Korea, is seeking highly motivated scientists for open positions at all levels, including Postdocs, Senior Researchers, Graduate Students, and Research Assistants.

Our group studies the biophysical basis of neural information processing through computational modeling, with particular emphasis on developing neuroscience-inspired machine learning/AI (neuroAI) models to analyze and model neuroscience data. We are big fans of physiological mechanisms and investigate how they collectively define the functions of neural systems underlying intelligent behavior (see Research for more details).

We closely collaborate with experimental labs both within our Center and abroad, providing rich opportunities for integrative research. We are also located next door to top-notch experimental laboratories in our Center and have various opportunities for scientific exchange with other members of a vibrant neuroscience community in South Korea. We are stably supported internally by IBS, a South Korean government initiative for excellence in basic science research. The duration and salary will be determined based on the candidate’s qualifications and experience according to the IBS policy.

Qualifications: Successful candidates will hold a PhD (for Postdocs and Senior Researchers) or a Bachelor’s degree (for Graduate Students and Research Assistants) in neuroscience or related quantitative fields (Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, etc.), with strong interest in understanding neural systems through computational approaches. We are committed to welcoming applicants of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, etc., as well as diverse scientific backgrounds.

Graduate Students: Graduate students are hired via UST or UNIST BME. Please ask the PI for more details.

How to Apply: For further inquiries, please submit your application via this form . Including a brief statement of research interests would be helpful. Note that inquiries prepared with excessive use of large language models will not be considered.
