The posting

Organization Overview

The Zavatone-Veth lab is broadly interested in how neural circuits can implement interesting computations, and how one can identify the computations a neural circuit performs by observing it. Recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence open new theoretical possibilities in both directions: On one hand, artificial neural networks can now be trained to perform ever more interesting tasks (including, as of late, proving interesting theorems); we would like to understand how these abilities arise. On the other, these advances provide us with a new set of tools to extract computational insights from measurements of biological neural systems. To use this toolkit effectively, we must understand when it works robustly, and where it can be improved. Overview

We are seeking enthusiastic postdocs to join our growing lab as it moves to Rockefeller, starting as soon as January 2027. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to help shape our research in the coming years, and collaborate and mentor other trainees within the group.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
