Edvard Ingjald Moser
About
Founding Director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Co-Director of Centre for Algorithms in the Cortex. PhD in neurophysiology, University of Oslo 1995.
WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING POSTDOCS AND PHD STUDENTS
Do you want to participate in our theory-guided search for the algorithms of the cortex - with a focus on space, time and memory - using the latest generations of Neuropixels probes, portable miniature 2-photon miniscopes, and advanced data analysis?
With a boost of funding, the Moser group, led by May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser, is hiring 6 postdocs and PhD students, 2 in collaboration with the Zong group, 1 in collaboration with the Gonzalo Cogno group, to live out our (and your) scientific dreams!

OUR PROJECTS AND TEAMS
Centre for Algorithms in the Cortex
BIO
Edvard I. Moser is interested in how spatial location and spatial memory are computed in the brain. His work, conducted with May-Britt Moser as a long-term collaborator, includes the discovery of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex, which provides the first clues to a neural mechanism for the metric of spatial mapping. Their current focus is on unravelling how neural microcircuits for space, time and memory are organized in terms of interactions between thousands of diverse neurons with known functional identity, a computational neuroscience endeavour that is significantly boosted by the invention of Neuropixels probes and 2-photon miniscopes for freely moving rodents - technologies that the Mosers and their group have participated in developing.
Edvard Moser is the Founding Director / Co-Director of three Research Council-funded Centres of Excellence:
- Centre for the Biology of Memory (2003-2012)
- Centre for Neural Computation (2012-2022)
- Centre for Algorithms in the Cortex (2023-2033)
In 2007 the Research Centre became a Kavli Institute, with Edvard Moser as the Director.
Nobel Prize: Edvard Moser shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology 2014 with May-Britt Moser and John O'Keefe.
