Fall/Winter/Summer 2023: Important information for applicants

Here is some important information for applicants interested in joining the lab in 2023:

1) We are seeking a postdoc. Please follow the instructions below if you are interested in applying for the postdoc position in the lab.

2) We are not currently seeking graduate students. You are welcome to fill out an application form to the lab, but be aware that this will likely be wasted work as the probability that we will take new graduate students or postdocs this year is essentially zero.

3) We are happy to receive applications for undergraduate students, but we will only consider new undergrads for Fall 2023 and onward. The deadline for application is May 7th. If you are interested in applying for an undergrad position in the lab starting Fall 2023 please follow the instructions below. 

4) Because we are not recruiting very many people this year, Dr. Richards is not listed on the Mila website as a potential supervisor. If you still wish to apply to the LiNC Lab you may apply below, and it doesn't matter if you cannot select Dr. Richards on the Mila site (because the applications are not linked).

Getting Involved

Interested in joining us? Follow the instructions below and fill out the application form to apply to the lab. If there is an position available and your application is considered a good fit for the lab, then we will contact you about arranging an interview and a chance to meet the other members of the lab. If you do not hear from us before any application deadlines it means that there was not a position in the lab that was suitable for you. We will check the applications once a month, please do not email is if you do not hear from us about your application.

Please be sure to specify your area of interest in the application form. To learn more,  please have a look at our current research projects and publications. 

Please note that we are deeply committed to enacting plans at the LiNC Lab to help reduce systemic bias problems, prevent discrimination, and improve inclusivity. As such, EDI will be a component of the selection process when we are considering applicants to the lab.

Post-Doctoral Fellows

We recruit post-doctoral researchers who have already completed a PhD or will soon complete a PhD.  Candidates should have training and research experience in computer science and/or systems neuroscience. 

Please follow the Mila postdoc application process, and fill out the LiNC Lab application form. Be sure to follow its specific requirements.

We look forward to hearing from you!
