job description:
MSc and PhD Opportunities- Single molecule studies of transcription and chromatin
We are recruiting motivated MSc and PhD students with backgrounds in biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, or related fields.
Our research explores how transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and chromatin regulate gene expression at the molecular level. Students will investigate DNA–protein interactions and transcription dynamics using a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry, and advanced single-molecule methods.
We are looking for curious and enthusiastic students who enjoy experimental research and are interested in understanding biological mechanisms at the level of individual molecules.
Previous experience in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, or biophysics is an advantage but is not required.
Interested candidates are invited to send a CV, academic transcripts, and a short description of their research interests.

MSc and PhD Opportunities in Single-Molecule Biophysics and Advanced Optical Instrumentation
We are recruiting motivated MSc and PhD students to join an interdisciplinary research program at the interface of physics, engineering, and molecular biology.
The projects involve developing and applying advanced optical instrumentation, including optical tweezers and single-molecule methods, to investigate fundamental mechanisms of transcription regulation, DNA–protein interactions, and chromatin biology.
We welcome applicants with backgrounds in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, optics, or related fields. Previous experience in experimental biophysics or molecular biology is an advantage but is not required.
Suitable candidates should have strong curiosity, enthusiasm for hands-on experimental work, and an interest in developing cutting-edge scientific instrumentation.
Interested candidates are invited to send a CV, a short description of their research interests, and academic transcripts.

Benisty Lab
Interdisciplinary computational neuroscience lab that develops geometric frameworks to study high-dimensional, time-varying brain activity. We cast biological questions into mathematical formulations and develop advanced, interpretable methods for neural data analysis. We investigate how experience reshapes neural dynamics and how brain-wide organization shifts across a continuum of timescales, from minutes-long spatial cognition to learning-driven changes over days, to longer-lasting physiological transitions such as pregnancy, and to neurodegenerative conditions.

Autonomous platform for field crops phenotyping
We are looking for highly motivated MScs, PhDs and post-docs for a large interdisciplinary project that involves the development of an autonomous platform for field crops phenotyping.
The project is conducted within the recently-established Israeli Center for Digital Agriculture that brings together researchers from the Technion, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben Gurion University.
A wide range of topics requiring different skills at levels ranging from B.Sc. to post-doc are available, such as:
- Autonomous navigation of outdoor ground vehicle
- Control (in particular visual servo) of 6DOFs robotic arm
- Autonomous UAV and UGV/UAV cooperation
- Multi/hyperspectral imaging
- Polarization imaging
- Non-destructive measurements of leaves and canopy properties
- Ground penetrating radar for root system mapping
Applicants should have good programming skills.
Previous experience with Linux and ROS2 is an advantage for some of the projects.
