We're looking for talented researchers.
We seek individuals with backgrounds in physics, biophysics, neuroscience, optics or engineering who are interested in performing challenging measurements to investigate how patterns of neural activity drive behavior.
Graduate Students
Prospective grad students should apply to Princeton's PhD programs in either Physics, Neuroscience or Quantitative and Computational Biology. Current or incoming Princeton graduate students interested in rotating or doing an experimental project should send a CV to Andrew Leifer to schedule a meeting.
Undergraduates
Princeton undergraduates interested in summer research or in conducting a Junior or Senior Thesis should send a CV to Andrew Leifer to schedule a meeting. It helps to get in touch early.
