Edvard graduated from the University of Oslo in 1990 with a degree in psychology. He later worked as a research colleague in the medical faculty. There he received his PhD in Neurophysics from a PhD in 1995. He also studied mathematics and statistics. Early in his career, he worked under the supervision of Per Anderson. From 1995 to 1997 Richard G. at the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh. Moser underwent postdoctoral training with Morris.

Moser returned to Norway in 1996 to become an Associate Professor of Psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NDNU) in Trondheim. In 1998 he was promoted to full professor of neuroscience. Moser is also the department head of the NDNU Institute for Systems Neuroscience. He is a member of the Royal Society of Science of Norway,] and the Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences. He is also an Honorary Professor in the Center for Cognitive and Neurological Systems at the University School of Medicine in Edinburgh.

 

Edvard Moser has pioneered research over the past decade on how memory is stored in the brain. Moser has won several prizes with his wife, May-Britt. The Lucia Cross Orwich Prize and the Carl Spencer Ilashly Award are some of them. The two shared the 2014 Nobel Prize in Medicine with John O'Keefe.
