**Department of Neurosciences, **Faculty of Medicine

in neurocircuitry related to production of complex behaviors, for examples ones involved in sensorimotor

independent, competitive and original research program that addresses questions that bridge the fields of

synaptic and cellular neuroscience and systems and computational neuroscience. Priority will be given to

researchers who skillfully combine optogenetic tools to target specific cell types, large-scale cellular imaging,

promote the development and implementation of new techniques and technologies in neuroscience, such as

machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), on large data sets.

The Department of neurosciences was created to bring together teams who excel in the field of neuroscience

and who work both on the campus of the University of Montreal and in off-campus research centers, mainly
