Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience at the IIT - Italy

[Stefano Panzeri]

A postdoctoral position is currently available at the Istituto Italiano di
Tecnologia, within the new Center for Human Technologies in Genoa, Italy.
The research will be jointly supervised by Stefano Panzeri (
https://www.iit.it/people/stefano-panzeri) and Cristina Becchio (
https://www.iit.it/it/people/cristina-becchio).

The aim of this project is to investigate, using both neural network models
and the mathematical analysis of behavioral, psychophysical and
neuroimaging data from cognitive experiments, how motor variability affects
action observation and prediction in both typically developing individuals
and individuals with autism.

The laboratories of the two supervisors offer a wide range of
interdisciplinary expertise in computational and cognitive neuroscience,
including advanced analysis, neural analyses techniques, neural network
modeling, motion tracking, psychophysics and neuroimaging techniques.  The
laboratories offer a thriving, well-funded research environment with
extensive international collaborations and ample opportunities for advanced
training and personal scientific growth.

We seek candidates holding a PhD in a numerate or neuroscientific
scientific discipline, with a solid computational background and a keen
interest in neuroscience and cognition. The ideal candidate is a highly
motivated and creative individual who wants to work in a dynamic,
multi-disciplinary research environment and is willing to interact with
both experimental and theoretical cognitive neuroscientists.

The formal deadline for applications is *July 9**th** 2018*.  However,
interested candidates are advised to contact informally Stefano Panzeri (
stefano.panzeri at iit.it) *as soon as possible*.



The formal application should be sent by email to *jobpost.75446 at iit.it*
<jobpost.75446 at iit.it>, *quoting “One post-doctoral position at the
interface between Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience - CB 75446 CB
75447” in the subject*.

The formal application should contain the CV, a brief statement of research
interests, and names and email addresses of 2 referees.
