Postdoctoral Researcher in Multimodal Human Sensing and Advanced Behavioral Data Analysis
EPFL · Post-doc / Collab. scientifique
Mission Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)-funded project on human motivation, stress physiology, immersive behavioral testing, and multimodal data analysis The Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics at EPFL, led by Prof. Carmen Sandi, is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher with a strong technical and quantitative profile to join a SNSF-funded project investigating human motivation and stress responsiveness. The project will develop and validate individually calibrated behavioral tasks in immersive virtual reality (VR) to quantify effort-based motivation, vigor, persistence and goal-directed versus habitual control. It will then test how acute stress alters these processes, combining behavioral performance, physiological monitoring, movement-based phenotyping, and advanced statistical and computational analyses. This position is part of a broader two-position recruitment linked to the same SNSF-funded project. The call is for the position focused on multimodal sensing, experimental systems, physiological and movement data, and advanced behavioral data analysis . A second, complementary position will focus more specifically on clinical and implementation aspects of the project. Although the project uses virtual reality as an experimental platform, prior VR experience is not necessarily required. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong expertise in experimental systems, physiological sensing, signal processing, human movement analysis, computational neuroscience, biomedical engineering, data science, and/or advanced quantitative behavioral research. The position is funded for three years . In line with standard EPFL procedures, the contract is issued on a one-year basis and renewable annually , subject to satisfactory progress and institutional regulations. Project background Understanding human motivation requires methods that go beyond questionnaires and simplified computer-based tasks. This project aims to develop more naturalistic,…

EPFL · Post-doc / Collab. scientifique
Mission The A. Mathis Group for Computational Neuroscience and AI (CNAI), led by Professor Alexander Mathis, is seeking two postdoctoral fellows to join our team working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. Our research is built around three intertwined questions: how to measure and understand behavior with AI, how brains and embodied agents learn to control the body, and how the brain builds a sense of its body through proprioception. We develop widely-used open-source tools (e.g., DeepLabCut), train biomechanically realistic embodied agents (e.g., MuscleMimic,…
