We are seeking new members to work on a range of research topics, including the origin of cognitive intelligence in both biological and artificial neural networks, the evolution of intelligent behaviors in individuals and multi-agent systems, and the development of novel algorithms for brain-equivalent artificial intelligence.
If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact the PI at sbpaik@kaist.ac.kr
Undergraduate Students:
Strongly motivated undergraduate students are invited to work on an independent research project that would typically take a year or longer. If successful, the project will be supported for journal publication and conference presentation. Find some sample works by our undergraduate students below.

Graduate Students:
We look for highly-motivated and talented graduate students. Please note that we usually welcome only one or two incoming graduate students each year for maintaining the best standard for our research. It is therefore recommended that you contact the PI as soon as possible, if you want to join the lab.
Postdoctoral Researchers:
A postdoctoral position is available to work on the following topics. The specifics of each project can be discussed if you contact us.
#Emergence of Cognitive Functions in Untrained Neural Networks
#Emergence of Social Behavior in Multi-Agent System
#Flexible and Stable Memories in the Brain and AI
Applicants with a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience or related fields (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, etc.) are encouraged to apply. Experience with scientific software packages, such as Matlab is expected.
