Hokkaido University (Japan) September 30 – October 4, 2025.

The Hjerling-Leffler lab aims at understanding how adolescent development of the nervous system, on a cell type-specific level, influences the etiology of psychiatric disorders. We work with several different approaches including analysis of postmortem samples and mouse models of genetic risk to understand biological convergence. We also combine transcriptomic data with large scale human genetics to investigate the cellular consequences of polygenic heritability in Schizophrenia (SCZ).

New postdoc positions at the (DISI-affiliated) Center for Possible Minds at Indiana University. Looking for scholars interested in interdisciplinary research on the nature of biological, artificial, and collective intelligence.

Are you eager to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI and network science/social network analysis in a vibrant academic environment? Leiden University invites applications for a PhD position in AI for Network Analysis, starting as early as September 1, 2025.

Are you interested in exploring whether the cortical tracking of speech can predict later reading deficits in Developmental Dyslexia? Dr. Marie Lallier and Dr. Marina Kalashnikova are looking for a PhD student who work delevoping novel neuroimaging techniques.

Junior professorships are a new form of recruitment based on a research and teaching project, at the end of the pre-tenure contract, and after an assessment of the scientific value and professional aptitude of the successful candidate (M/F) for the chair by a committee, the candidate will have direct access without competition (subject to a favourable assessment) to a permanent post in the body of university professors (Decree no. 2021-1710 of 17 December 2021).

Join CropXR as PhD candidate! Develop computational models to translate drought & heat stress responses from a model plant species (Arabidopsis thaliana) to crops. Combine plant biology and computational modelling in a dynamic and interdisciplinary setting.

Interested in working on machine learning at the intersection of methods, neuroscience, and clinical applications? Join us at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica! Apply by June 22.

This conference gathers leading experts in philosophy, biology and neuroscience who will be discussing free will. Cutting-edge research into the biological and neural basis of human and animal agency challenges deterministic assumptions, adding to doubts from quantum physics and pointing to non-reductionist views of agency and action causation. The conference explores the resulting prospects for a scientifically grounded, ontologically robust concept of 'libertarian' free will, breaking new ground in interdisciplinary research on free will.

“How, therefore, we must ask, is it possible for us to distinguish the living from the lifeless if we can describe both conceptually by the motion of inorganic corpuscles?”—Karl Pearson (The Grammar of Science, 1892).
