The Mosers were appointed associate professors in psychology and neuroscience at NTNU in 1996, less than one year after their Ph.D defenses. They established The Centre for the Biology of Memory in 2002 and the Kavli Institute, the fifteenth in the world and the fourth in neuroscience, in 2007. May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser shared the 2014 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine with John O'Keefe.
