I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️

My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?

This is a great opportunity for aspiring neuroscientists! Recent RAs in the Witten lab have gone on to fantastic PhD programs (Pitt, Penn, Colorado, Princeton, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon).

Ilana Witten @ilanawitten.bsky.social · Aug 5

We're looking for a research assistant to work in our neuroscience lab at @princetonneuro.bsky.social @hhmi.org where we study learning and decision-making circuitry.

I’m especially grateful to my wonderful mentors — @ilanawitten.bsky.social @princetonneuro.bsky.social and @zknight.bsky.social — for all of their support and guidance over the past twelve (!) years. And looking forward, I’m thrilled to be joining the incredible neuroscience community at Utah! 😃

Research in our lab will bring together tools and perspectives — from systems and computational neuroscience, physiology, genomics, and biochemistry — to study how animals learn from feedback from the gut (and other organ systems). I will be recruiting lab members at all levels!
