Connectionists: Postdoctoral and PhD Positions in Theoretical Neuroscience at SISSA, Trieste

[Francesca Mastrogiuseppe]

We invite applications for postdoctoral and PhD positions in the group led
by Francesca Mastrogiuseppe at SISSA, Trieste (Italy). The group develops
models and statistical tools to investigate how complex dynamics and
computations emerge from the coordinated activity of neurons in large-scale
cortical circuits. Depending on the candidate’s interests, projects may
range from theoretical work to the analysis of experimental data from
partner laboratories.

Our group is part of the Data Science and Machine Learning initiative at
SISSA. SISSA is an elite postgraduate research institution in Mathematics,
Physics, and Neuroscience. The working language is English, and the staff
is diverse and strongly international. Trieste is a seaside city with a
strong scientific community and excellent quality of life.

Postdoctoral positions: We seek candidates with research experience in
Computational Neuroscience or other quantitative disciplines. Applicants
should submit a CV and a brief (½ page) statement of interest.

PhD positions: We are looking for candidates with a strong quantitative
background and a curiosity to engage with biological questions. Admission
is through the doctoral program in Theoretical and Scientific Data Science (
https://datascience.sissa.it/). The official call will open late 2025;
informal enquiries and expressions of interest are encouraged. Pre-PhD
scholarships and internships may be available.

Please send application materials and enquiries to francesca.mastrogiuseppe
at sissa.it.
