________________________________
An exciting opportunity for graduate students and postdocs interested in the mechanistic basis of cognition to present their work, discuss challenges and future directions, and connect with peers.

Organized by Michael Reiser<https://hhmi.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3c8034ebf5d74492b5c8ef8c9&id=9507db9f6d&e=7f13d17deb>, Jakob Voigts<https://hhmi.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3c8034ebf5d74492b5c8ef8c9&id=6162753f47&e=7f13d17deb>, Adriane Otopalik<https://hhmi.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3c8034ebf5d74492b5c8ef8c9&id=17c45e0638&e=7f13d17deb>, and Lisanne Schulze<https://hhmi.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3c8034ebf5d74492b5c8ef8c9&id=5c411a3f52&e=7f13d17deb>, this workshop is for junior scientists (grad students, postdocs and those in similar training positions) who are pursuing research aimed at understanding how cognitive processes and behavior are implemented at the level of circuits, cells, and molecules. We are open to a broad array of ideas and approaches in a variety of animal models and will also consider theorists with a strong interest in linking their ideas to experimental data. The workshop will focus on cognition broadly construed (e.g. navigation, learning, decision making, planning, social interactions, etc.), but sessions will be thematically tuned to the participants’ research interests.

Over the course of one week, attendees will present their work, engage in discussions on critical problems and obstacles in the field, and indulge in informed speculation about conceptual and technical approaches that might be useful for future progress ...

*This workshop will run alongside our Junior Scientist Workshop on Theoretical Neuroscience<https://hhmi.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3c8034ebf5d74492b5c8ef8c9&id=b5496c690d&e=7f13d17deb>. Joint events and sessions will encourage formal and informal conversations between the groups in an effort to bridge the conceptual and pragmatic gaps between theory and experiment.*

To be considered, applicants must provide:

  *   Research Abstract
  *   Answers to three Scientific Thought Questions
  *   Current CV
  *   PI Recommendation

Application deadline: May 7, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET)

Meals, accommodations, and travel support are provided for accepted participants.
