Melting neuroscience and robotics - PhD fellowships
Deadline September 20th noon (Italian Time/CET)
A few selected PhD fellowships are offered at the Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department (RBCS) of the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy, addressing aspects of neuroscience and robotics from a scientific, technological and social perspective.
The fellowships are offered within the curriculum of “Cognitive Robotics, Interaction and Rehabilitation Technologies” of the PhD program “Bioengineering and Robotics” organized jointly by IIT and the University of Genoa.
If your goal is to learn how to work in a true multidisciplinary environment in close contact with engineers, biologists, psychologists, mathematicians, physicists, medical doctors, look at the RBCS Web-Site to see our history and current activities and infrastructure, browse through the description of the individual research themes offered this year to find what you like most and send your application after reading carefully the rather complicated application procedures (the first selection criterion is to be able to provide all documents in the right format before the deadline on September 20th, 2013 noon (Italian time/CET).
For general questions regarding the research environment at RBCS send a message to me (giulio.sandini@iit.it) and for specific questions regarding the individual themes you can find the reference in the description of the individual research themes.
For questions regarding the application procedure write to Anastasia Bruzzone (anastasia.bruzzone@iit.it)
Hope you like what we plan to do (and what we have done already).
