Postdoctoral position in theoretical neuroscience at ISI foundation
(Torino, Italy)

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to carry out
theoretical research at the interface between statistical physics and
theoretical neuroscience.  The position is funded initially for 2
years, with possible extensions.  Applicants should have a strong
background in physics, and previous research experience in
computational/theoretical neuroscience.  The applicant should be able
to perform independent research and interact with both the statistical
physics group (currently headed by Riccardo Zecchina) and the
computational neuroscience group (currently headed by Nicolas
Brunel). The research interests of these groups currently focus on
learning and on network dynamics.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and have two or
three letters of recommendation sent by email to Nicolas Brunel
(nicolas.brunel at univ-paris5.fr). The fellowship could start as early as
November 2006.
