Join us!

The lab is highly transdisciplinary by design. We welcome inquiries from promising junior scientists with experience in neuroscience, psychology, computer science, data science, biomedical engineering, or physics. Our research program is a great training platform for students and postdocs interested in careers in academic research, neurotechnology, software development, data science, brain-machine interfaces, medical devices, or the pharmaceutical industry.

We accept students through graduate programs in Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, as well as Neuroscience.

Our research is facilitated by generous support from the UCalgary Faculty of Arts, the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), The National Eye Institute (NEI) and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI). Lab renovations were supported by a generous donation from the Eddy estate.

Living and Working in Calgary

  • The Community

    Calgary and Alberta are home to a vibrant neuroscience community. At the University of Calgary, neuroscience researchers can be found all across main campus and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) in the Cumming School of Medicine. HBI brings together 300+ members spanning 16 departments and nine faculties.

    Southward, there is the University of Lethbridge and the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience. To the north in Edmonton, there is the University of Alberta and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (AMII).

  • The City

    The economist ranked Calgary as the 3rd most liveable city in the world and it shows. Calgary boasts the most extensive urban pathway and bikeway network and has one of the highest allocations of green space compared to other North American cities. Calgary is the third most diverse major city in Canada and over 120 languages are spoken here.

    Driving across town is easy and a $5.5 billion dollar expansion of the light rail system is underway. Moreover, the cost of living pales in comparison to Toronto or Vancouver. We also have professional NHL (Go Flames Go!), CFL, and NLL teams as well as two amateur ice hockey teams.

  • The Surroundings

    Calgary is an outdoor paradise. We are a short drive from world class nature including Kananaskis, Banff, and Yoho. You can be in B.C., Jasper, or Waterton Lakes in a few hours.

    Summers offer incredible hiking, canoeing, biking and kayaking. In winter, you are never far from alpine or cross country skiing, snowshoeing, sleding, fat biking, or even drifting your car on a frozen lake.
