The Kavli Foundation sponsors an AI-for-Science Postdoctoral Fellowship through FutureHouse's Independent Postdoctoral Fellowship program, supporting one fellow per cohort to pursue an independent, AI-enabled research project in neuroscience.
The fellowship provides a $125,000 annual stipend plus comprehensive benefits, travel allowance for conferences, dedicated software engineering support for building AI research tools, access to advanced computational resources (GPU clusters and cloud computing), and wet lab access for experimental validation.
Fellows work in collaboration with an advisor or co-advisor who is a member of a Kavli Institute, pursuing bold, curiosity-driven projects in neuroscience ranging from molecular and cellular mechanisms to systems-level understanding of the brain. The fellowship begins September 2026 and runs for one year with a possible one-year extension.
Research areas include AI-driven analysis of brain imaging data, machine learning for neural circuit mapping, computational neuroscience models, AI tools for analyzing large-scale neural recordings, and deep learning applied to connectomics and brain-computer interfaces.
