GRADUATE STUDENT POSITION

A three-years postgraduate position in cognitive neuroscience is available 
with Dr. Marco Zorzi and Prof. Carlo Umiltà at University of Padova 
(Italy), Department of Psychology. The project is part of a EU-funded 
Research Training Network of six sites (University College London, INSERM 
U334 Orsay, Université Catholique de Louvain, University of Innsbruck, 
University of Trieste, and University of Padova) investigating “Mathematics 
and the Brain". The Padova team will focus on the computational bases of 
mathematical cognition (basic numerical abilities and simple arithmetic), 
using both experimental and connectionist modeling techniques. Experience 
in connectionist modelling or neuropsychology, and good programming skills 
are desirable. The successful applicant will register for a PhD in 
Psychology. The international network offers an excellent opportunity for 
gaining experience in a wide range of methodologies in cognitive 
neuroscience. Short visits and exchanges between laboratories are also 
planned. Salary and benefits are highly competitive (23000 Euro per year). 
Applicants must be citizens of a EU country (excluding Italy), EFTA-EEA 
states, Candidate States, or Israel. Application deadline is 31 October 
2000. Send CV, reprints or preprints and the names of two references 
(preferably by email) to:
