It's been hard to find the words, but here goes: I have been given the wonderful opportunity to start as an assistant professor at Colorado University Anschutz campus in July 2025. That also means opportunities for postdocs & grad students interested in models of motor circuits (https://simonsfoundation.org/people/laureline-logiaco/).
This is part of a multi-year effort of the Department of Physiology & Biophysics to hire several professors in computational neuroscience. So, if you are a graduate student and this is your area of interest, don't hesitate to apply (https://cuanschutz.edu/graduate-programs/neuroscience/faculty-and-research)!
I am very lucky to join a strong community of experimental neuroscientists with many overlapping interests, & excited about further contributing to neuroscience research. I really feel that recent experimental & modeling advances-notably on the motor side- are leaping us forward!
I'm thankful to many who supported me on my journey: colleagues at ENS, Sorbonne University, EPFL, Columbia, and MIT; Jonathan Michaels who is a wonderful panel coorganizer; & mentors A. Hantman C. Moss, C. Machens, A. Arleo, E. Procyk, W. Gerstner, S. Escola, L. Abbott, I. Fiete; @SimonsFdn, ...
It is an immense privilege to do research for a living. I'll do my best to contribute in ways that I genuinely feel can push our communal knowledge, & to create a positive working environment. I'll set up a lab website soon; until then don't hesitate to contact me if interested!

@elduvelle_neuro Thank you Eleonore, you are too kind! And yes, I definitely hope we'll have many occasions to interact scientifically and beyond in the future 😍
@LaurelineLogiaco congratulations!!! Great that you’ll have the opportunity to ramp up your exciting work!
@LaurelineLogiaco Yoohoo! Many congrats Laureline, and very well-deserved :) Looking forward to see all the cool work from your new lab and hopefully many future collaborations between us :)
