[Comp-neuro] Two PhD positions in spike train analysis and neuronal network dynamics in Firenze

Two PhD positions at Istituto dei Sistemi Complessi -- Firenze (Italy)

==================================================

===================================================

The Phd positions are offered within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network -
'Neural Engineering Transformative Technologies' (NETT) to work at the
Institute of Complex Systems (ISC), CNR, Florence, Italy

Applications are invited for the above posts to work with Dr
Alessandro Torcini and Dr Thomas Kreuz in the Computational
neuroscience group at ISC, Florence. This world leading group combines
theoretical investigations (e.g., on nontrivial collective phenomena
in neuronal populations) with practical applications (e.g., spike
train analysis).

The two positions are on nonlinear dynamics/complex systems with
application to neuroscience, the research lines will be

1. Emergence of collective dynamics in scale-free neuronal networks (ESR14)

2. Measures of spike train synchrony (ESR15)


Gross Salary per annum: 42,028 € (Living Allowance) plus 9,290 -
13,272 € (Mobility Allowance) depending on circumstances

Required titles: MSc in Physics, Mathematics or Engineering
obtained between 1 september 2008 -- 1 september 2012

Applications: The applications should be prepared and send as detailed
on this webpage:

http://neuro.fi.isc.cnr.it/index.php?page=how-to-apply

Closing date for both positions: 14 September 2012

Both full-time posts are available from 01 January 2013 and
will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 36 months.

Contact: Dr Thomas Kreuz (thomas.kreuz@cnr.it) or Dr Alessandro Torcini
