How do human and machine intelligence arise? The International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN) at The University of Tokyo was launched in October 2017 to tackle this challenge over the next ten years under the World Premier International (WPI) Research Initiative of Japan. IRCN researchers will understand emergent principles of neural circuit development to inspire next-generation neural computation for artificial intelligence and novel therapies for mental illness.

Yukie Nagai lab at IRCN investigates the mechanisms underlying human cognitive development and disorders through computational approaches. We develop computational neural networks inspired by the human brain and examine what mechanisms enable the networks to acquire human-like intelligence. For more information, please visit our lab homepage at https://developmental-robotics.jp/en/.
We are currently seeking a researcher (Project Research Associate or Project Researcher) to participate in the following projects:
- Moonshot “Development of “Jizai Hon-yaku-ki (At-will Translator)” connecting various minds based on brain and body functions” (PI: Kenichiro Tsutsui, Period: Sep 2022 - Mar 2027)

We are currently seeking University Research Administrators (URAs) who can work at IRCN. International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN) was established at the University of Tokyo in 2017 as funded by the World Premier International Research Center Program (WPI). IRCN investigates the roots of human intelligence, its application to clinical medicine, and pursues the development of new AI using these findings. IRCN brings together researchers with a high degree of diversity from Japan and abroad, and actively promotes collaborative research with overseas partner research centers around the world. IRCN is seeking URAs to join us in the roles specified in the call for application.
