Research Opportunities

The Wallach Laboratory at the Faculty of Biology, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, is looking for a student to join the team as a Research Assistant.

Job Description:

The position involves contributing to a research project investigating how the brain processes sensory information and guides behavior, using electric fish as a model organism. Responsibilities include assisting with experiments, learning research techniques, and working as part of the laboratory team. The role also requires brief visits to the lab on weekends and holidays to feed and provide basic care for the fish.

No prior experience is required — full, paid training will be provided.

Position: Hourly employment
Start Date: Immediate

Interested in joining us? Please send your CV along with a few words about yourself and your interest in the position to Dr. Avner Wallach at avnerw@technion.ac.il.

We are looking for outstanding MSc and PhD students to join the Shemer lab at the Technion and investigate new therapeutic strategies for skeletal muscle disorders.

Our research connects AI-guided drug discovery with experimental biology, using patient-derived muscle cells and preclinical disease models to test candidate compounds and uncover their mechanisms of action.

The project is part of an international European consortium and offers the opportunity to work at the interface of muscle biology, human disease, stem-cell models, molecular and cell biology, imaging, and in vivo physiology.

We are looking for curious, highly motivated students who want to take ownership of an ambitious research project and develop into independent scientists.

Interested? Contact Prof. Shenhav Shemer with a CV, transcript, and a short description of your research interests

We study how neuronal networks process information to drive behavior, at the molecular, physiological and computational levels. For that, we investigate mechanisms underlying sensation, decision making, learning and memory in the simple nervous system of C. elegans nematodes. Our research combines mathematical modeling, systems biology, genetics and cutting-edge experimental tools, including optogenetics, advanced microscopy, and microfluidic devices for analysis of behavior and neuronal activity in free-moving animals.

We are looking for highly motivated students with background in biology or exact sciences. Strong background in neuroscience, computational skills or experience in the techniques mentioned above is an advantage. Applicants should send a CV with a brief statement of interest to levysagi@technion.ac.il.

Open positions for MSc, PhD and postdoctoral fellows. We are seeking highly motivated students to develop and study novel approaches in bioinformatics, or the application of analytic and interpretive methods to optimize the clinical-decision making.

Excellent & motivated MSC/PhD students are invited to apply to take part in challemging projects that focus on identifying novel DNA repair proteins and exploiting them for developing innovative targeted therapeutic strategies for cancer patients. This project involves a broad range of cutting-edge techniques including advance live-cell microscopy, CRISPR-Cas9 screen, bioinformatic analysis and cancer xenograft mouse model.

We are always looking for talented MSc and PhD students to join us. Students with a background in Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Engineering are welcome to apply. Postdoctoral applicants must have a PhD degree, a strong publication record and demonstrated ability to work independently. Expertise in single-molecule and/or bulk biophysics, molecular biology or microscopy is an advantage. However, an open mind, good hands, and a record of success in your PhD are the only requirements.

Wanted curious and enthusiastic human beings to solve the great mysteries of life

(Looking for students for MSc, Ph.D. & Post-Docs)

• How do proteins find love at the end of the ribosomal tunnel?
• What happens when proteins get lonely?
• How can we live forever?

Come help us figure out how do proteins form, fold and organize into functional complexes in our cells,

What mechanisms facilitate and protect them from aggregation, neurodegeneration, and aging

The Shiber lab is open and we`re looking for you
