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!

...

Are you a postdoc doing neuroscience? Have you not yet had an occasion to be invited to an external seminar? Do you want an opportunity to come to MIT to present your research and explain why it is exciting? Please apply!

At #BernsteinConference2023 & interested in motor control? Visit poster III C06 (Thu, 12:30).
Sunny Duan, Ila Fiete & I will present a model that instantiates hypotheses about how different learning mechanisms in M1, cerebellum & integrative cortex help tackle challenging control tasks

For those who may be interested, I'm lucky & honored to talk at the Van Vreeswijk Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar
tomorrow 11/01 at 11 AM EST. Instructions to join: https://wwtns.online. Thanks to the longer format, I'll be able to dive deeper into the topic. I'm looking forward to the discussion!
