We are interesting in talking to you!



We are currently recruiting MSc and/or PhD students for the 2025 cohorts. Both spring/winter 2025 and fall 2025 start dates are possible.

The lab is located

in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Montréal (UdeM). The department is highly collaborative, Montréal is a great place to live, and UdeM has some unique bridges between neuroscience, AI research, data science, and the learning sciences.

We expect

successful candidates to undertake a research project that involves some combination of (1) behavioral experiments in humans, (2) large-scale electrophysiology studies in the rhesus macaque, and/or (3) computational modeling. We welcome candidates who are interested in any or all of these techniques. All positions will involve collecting data, analyzing data, writing for fellowships and travel awards, and disseminating research in talks, posters, and publications. The ideal candidates will be excited to take the lead on their own project, coordinating with others for support as needed. All students in the lab are expected to participate in other professional development activities related to their long-term career goals, whatever those may be.

We are looking for

people who bring something interesting to the table. We know that working in a diverse and inclusive lab makes us better scientists and happier people, and we encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and with all identities. There are some skills and experiences that would help you hit the ground running, so you should definitely reach out if you have a few of the following qualifications and are motivated to develop the others:
  • Programming experience (ideally Matlab, Python, or Julia).
  • Experience in collecting and/or analyzing neurophysiology data.
  • Experience working with non-human primates or other kinds of animals.
  • A solid quantitative background, especially in dynamical systems theory, control theory, and/or linear algebra.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

If you would like to apply,

please send your CV to becket@ebitzlab.com. In your email, please describe 1) why you are interested in the position, and 2) your background, including any previous research you have done.
