PhDs and/or postdocs in the Zong group

Place: Trondheim

We are seeking two enthusiastic and highly motivated candidates with a neuroscience, biology, biotechnology or biophysics background, who wish to apply our recently developed cutting-edge miniature two-photon microscopes to model-driven systems neuroscience studies. 

The positions will be associated with the research group of Weijian Zong and provide the opportunities to collaborate with or be co-supervised with renowned neuroscientists in the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience. 

Dr. Zong established his group at the Kavli Institute in 2023, focusing on developing cutting-edge optical tools to monitor and manipulate neural activity in naturally-behaving animals to understand the neuronal computation rulesets in cortical microcircuits

The institute is the only Neuroscience Kavli Institute in Europe and forms a functional entity with the independently funded Centre for Neural Computation, which is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence.

The institute currently has 10 research groups which focus on spatial coding and memory, cognitive motor function, sensory integration, statistical physics of inference and network organization, functional neuroanatomy, transgenic investigation of neural circuits, human memory/translational neuroscience, vision and navigation, circuit development and perception and cognition. 

The institute also has a wide range of teaching responsibilities. This includes the international master program in neuroscience, a bachelor course in neuroscience, and courses offered as part of the PhD program. The latter activities are embedded in the Norwegian Research School in Neuroscience (NRSN) which is coordinated at NTNU/KISN.
