The neural control & computation lab welcomes people of any race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, caregiver and family commitments, political affiliation, sexual orientation, and eligible age or disability status.

In the neural control & computation lab, we aim to create an inviting and team-oriented workplace. We put a lot of effort into fostering clear communication and treating each other with dignity. We have zero tolerance for any sort of hostile behaviour or intimidation; we do not excuse misconduct, even from the most talented individuals.

We recognize that science does not always provide equal opportunities for everyone. It is our goal to change that by increasing diversity and creating more chances for a range of people to succeed. To achieve this, we study and adhere to the Equity-Minded Mentoring Toolkit in our hiring and mentoring practices, and we expect to be held accountable if we’re not living up to this standard.

Our lab is dedicated to supporting each member's career growth, whether they aspire to work in science, healthcare, business, or government. We're here to guide you towards your professional objectives during your time with us and to continue supporting you after you move on. We ask that you come prepared to engage fully, think creatively, and maintain your curiosity. Your research should be conducted ethically and with the utmost consideration for rigour and transparency. We encourage you to be considerate towards your peers and proactive in seeking assistance when necessary. Our support extends beyond the lab — we are ready to listen and help with personal challenges as much as we’re able.

Land Acknowledgement

York University recognizes that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
