Hiring at Stanford: Research Scientists Systems Neuroscience & Systems Engineers
Katrin Franke
Stanford University is launching an interdisciplinary Neuro-AI project dedicated to building a foundation model of the brain (https://enigmaproject.ai/). This endeavor will involve multiple labs and faculty across the Stanford campus, including the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, Stanford Bio-X, and the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute. Leveraging cutting-edge advances in electrophysiology and machine learning, this project aims to create a functional "digital twin" — a model that captures both the activity dynamics of the brain at cellular resolution and the intelligent behavior it generates, including perception, motor planning, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.
This ambitious initiative promises to offer unprecedented insights into the brain's algorithms of perception and cognition while serving as a key resource for aligning artificial intelligence models with human-like neural representations. As part of this project, we are seeking
*Research Scientist / Engineer: Systems Neuroscience*

We are seeking candidates passionate about team-oriented science at industry-scale and who love developing and implementing new experimental paradigms for visual/sensory neuroscience, including stimulus design, behavior task design, large-scale electrophysiology recordings, and more. Experience with non-human-primate experiments is a big plus.
Please spread the word and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
