He currently is based at the [[Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology]] near [[Munich]], [[Germany]] as a visiting researcher.<ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2014/10/06/nyheter/nobel/nobelprisen_i_medisin/35616650/</ref> Moser and his wife, [[May-Britt Moser]], were appointed associate professors in psychology and neuroscience at NTNU in 1996. They were instrumental in the establishment of the [[Centre for the Biology of Memory]] (CBM) in 2002 and the Institute for Systems Neuroscience in 2007, and have pioneered research on the brain's mechanism for representing space. Moser has won several prizes, many together with [[May-Britt Moser]] (his wife and collaborator), including the [[Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize]], and the [[Karl Spencer Lashley Award]]. In 2014 they shared the [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] with [[John O'Keefe (neuroscientist)| John O'Keefe]]. Moser also became a foreign associate of the United States [[National Academy of Sciences]] in 2014. The prize was awarded for work identifying the cells that make up the positioning system in the brain. ==Early life== Moser grew up in [[Ålesund]]. His parents had immigrated to Norway from [[Germany]] in the 1950s. His mother originally was from [[Essen]] and his father from [[Kronberg im Taunus]]. The Moser family initially lived at [[Haramsøya]], where his father, a [[pipe organ]] builder, was employed. Later they relocated, first to [[Hareid]] and then to Ålesund.<ref>http://www.smp.no/nyheter/article10203143.ece</ref><ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2014/10/06/nyheter/forskning/nobelpris/nobelpris_i_medisin/may-britt_moser/35616764/</ref><ref>http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wissen/zu-besuch-bei-nobelpreistraegerin-may-britt-moser-13193347.html</ref> ==Career== Edvard Moser was awarded the ''cand.psychol.'' degree in psychology from the [[University of Oslo]] in 1990 and the ''dr.philos.'' doctoral research degree in the field of [[neurophysiology]] in 1995.<ref>Moser, M-B. (1995). ''Field potential changes in the dentate gyrus during spatial learning in the rat''. Thesis for the degree of Dr. Philos., University of Oslo (defended on 9 December 1995).</ref> He also has studied mathematics and statistics.<ref>http://www.fens.org/People/Past/Moser-Edvard-I/</ref> Early in his career, he worked under the supervision of [[Per Andersen]]. Moser went on to undertake postdoctoral training with [[Richard G. Morris]] at the Centre for Neuroscience, [[University of Edinburgh]], from 1994 to 1996, and was a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the laboratory of [[John O'Keefe (neuroscientist)|John O'Keefe]] at the University College, London. Moser returned to Norway in 1996 to be appointed associate professor in biological psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, which he held until 1998. In the same year, Moser was promoted to a position as full professor of Neuroscience at NTNU. Additionally, Moser is also the founding director of the NTNU Centre for the Biology of Memory (2002) and the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience (2007).
