The newly established Program in Memory Longevity (PML) at the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute and the Department of Neuroscience at UT Southwestern Medical Center is seeking applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The program is looking for both computational and experimental neuroscientists to advance the understanding of memory and its disruption in aging and disease. These positions offer access to generous start-up packages, state-of-the-art resources, and a collaborative scientific community.

Professor Attila Losonczy, director of the newly established Program in Memory Longevity (PML) at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is recruiting a research scientist with a background in cellular and molecular neurobiology to investigate synaptic and neuronal plasticity mechanisms of learning and memory. The project is a collaboration between laboratories at UTSW and UT Austin and will necessitate regular visits to the Austin campus. The successful applicant will be embedded in the Neuroscience community spanning research groups in the US and Europe.

The newly established Program in Memory Longevity (PML), led by Attila Losonczy in the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) in Dallas, in collaboration with the Paninski and Peterka labs in the Zuckerman Institute (ZI), Columbia University, New York and the International Brain Lab (IBL) is seeking a full-time Research Software Engineer. The Research Software Engineer will work closely with these labs to help develop and maintain software tools, in particular for the analysis and interpretation of large-scale imaging data. The ideal candidate will play an important role in translating research code into robust and easy-to-use software packages, as well as contribute to the understanding and use of imaging data. The primary location is at UTSW, including collaborative visits at ZI, New York.

Joint Position: NYU Tandon School of Engineering & UT Southwestern Medical Center O'Donnell Brain Institute

Neuroinformatics Lab,led by Erdem Varol, PhD, at the Computer Science and Engineering department at New York University (NYU), Tandon School of Engineering, and the Program in Memory & Longevity (PML), led by Attila Losonczy, MD, PhD, at the UT Southwestern Medical Center O'Donnell Brain Institute (OBI) are seeking to hire a Computational Postdoctoral Researcher for an interdisciplinary, dual-lab position.

This role focuses on developing analysis software for integrating in vivo imaging and ex vivo spatial transcriptomics to understand the molecular bases of memory. Potential projects include characterizing learning-related plasticity through multi-omics approaches (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics) and characterizing synaptic plasticity during navigation and learning using two-photon calcium, voltage, and neurotransmitter imaging. The successful applicant will be embedded in the larger Neuroscience community at UTSW OBI and NYU.

The Losonczy Lab at the UT Southwestern Medical Center is recruiting undergraduate students to assist with our research program on the functional and transcriptomic organization of hippocampal memory circuits. Students can expect to assist in animal behavior training with the potential to gain experience in optical physiology (fiber photometry, two-photon calcium imaging), circuit manipulations (optogenetics, chemogenetics, pharmacology), and other cutting-edge tools for systems neuroscience.
