Position Professor
Published 17 July 2025 Closing Date 1 October 2025 Description
The School of Life Sciences at EPFL invites applications for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor position in Neuroscience. At EPFL researchers develop and apply innovative technologies to understand brain systems across scales—from theory to molecules, cells, circuits, and behavior. This knowledge informs both basic biological principles and translational strategies for treating neurological conditions.

Requirements
We seek individuals who will develop and lead a research program at the forefront in the broad area of neuroscience. Successful applicants will join a faculty working in areas such as cellular neuroscience (including brain development and neurodegeneration), circuit neuroscience (including sensory-motor systems) and neurocomputation. Thematic links to other research at the institutes of the School of Life Sciences (e.g. cancer, infection, immunology, bioengineering) are encouraged.

The successful candidate will also be expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Teaching will primarily take place within the Life Sciences Engineering curriculum, and the ability to teach STEM subjects will be a positive factor in the evaluation process.

We offer
EPFL attracts top students from all over the world and offers internationally competitive salaries, generous research funding, start-up envelopes and world-class research infrastructure. The EPFL environment is multilingual and multicultural.

Contact and Address
The application package should include the following documents in pdf format: cover letter, a curriculum vitae including a publication list, a synopsis of major accomplishments (up to 2 pages), a concise statement of future research agenda (up to 4 pages) and teaching experience and plans (up to 1 page), along with the contacts of 3-5 referees who are ready to supply their letter upon request.
