We’ve generated a synapse-resolution map of an insect brain, includes 3016 neurons and half a million synaptic sites! Out today in Science Summary below and in @bpedigod’s thread. @ZlaticLab, @albertcardona, @neuro_data, Carey Priebe, and many others

We are looking for a motivated and meticulous laboratory research scientist (LRS) to help with a comprehensive neuronal inactivation screen. This is a great opportunity to build experience in the growing field of experimental connectomics. Apply by 2 May!.

Looking for an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of neuroscience and connectomics? We are hiring a Connectomics Data Analysis Engineer. Expect to implement the latest machine learning methods for connectomics and develop your own!

@neuroluci Apply here by 5 Nov!.

Looking for a PhD position in comparative connectomics? Apply for a joint-supervised position, with myself and @neuroluci. The aim is to understand how circuits evolve by comparing whole-brain connectomes of fruit fly species. Apply for Project #2 here:.

We're using AI to map circuitry across entire brains!. Beautiful work by @MohintaSamia has converted existing training data to match our samples. This allows us to trace neurons instantly, in what used to take years of painstaking work. In development:

I am excited to share our lab's first publication! .An insight article @eLife by Anna Seggewisse. Read it here, it is open-source

First electron microscopy image from the lab! 🎉. You are seeing hundreds of individual neurons from the brain of a fruit fly larva. Great work from Anna Seggewisse and Chris Peddie, @EM_STP

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss projects. More information about the post in my group: . Information about the programme: .

We have an opening for a postdoctoral clinical fellow. Candidates should have a PhD + clinical degree (medical, veterinary, etc.) with previous clinical post. Help us study how genes related to psychiatric disorders affect brain wiring and social behaviour!. Apply by 30 April. .

What does it take to map a connectome? I was interviewed on @BBC Unexpected Elements, listen in to find out! Starts at the 15 minute mark.

Come help us analyse how synapse-resolution circuitry changes across an entire brain after environmental or genetic manipulation. @TheCrick provides a supportive environment for postdocs, providing the perfect launchpad for your career!

We have an open postdoc position! Apply here: . Following up on the first brain map of an insect brain (, we will be using comparative connectomics to investigate how wiring changes affect social behaviour in the fruit fly larva.
