Dear all
I am taking a full time research chair at the Italian Institute of Technology in Rovereto-Trento (Italy) and I am now advertising three new postdoctoral jobs in computational neuroscience in my lab (to study neural information processing), with deadline for application set to December 5th 2013.
The positions are funded until 31 December 2016 and the earliest possible start date is February 1st 2014. Salaries depend on experience and track record and are very competitive on the European scale. If you are interested in and would like some additional informal information, please write to me stefano.panzeri@iit.it attaching a PDF of your CV.
Formal advert and instruction of how to submit a formal application can be found at the following URL and is also copied at the bottom of the message.
Regards

Three Postdoctoral positions in computational neuroscience at IIT-CNCS
Ref: CB 67913, CB 68670, CB 68677
The Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (http://www.iit.it) is a private law Foundation, created with special Government Law no. 269 of September 30th 2003, with the objective of promoting Italy's technological development and higher education in science and technology. Research at IIT is carried out in highly innovative scientific fields with state-of-the-art technology.
The Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems is hosted at the facilities of the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences - CIMeC (http://www.unitn.it/cimec), an interdisciplinary center for teaching and research in cognitive neuroscience of the University of Trento in Rovereto, Italy. The CIMeC hosts also a Doctoral School in Cognitive and Brain Sciences (http://www.unitn.it/en/drcimec). The University of Trento is ranked first among research universities in Italy, and the Trentino region is consistently at the top for quality of life and for the most efficient services in Italy.
Applications are sought for three post-doctoral researchers to work in computational neuroscience. The postdoctoral candidates will be working in the Centre for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems in Trento (Italy), under the supervision of Prof. S. Panzeri.
The postdoctoral scientists will work on computational approaches to the studies of neural coding and will use mathematical analysis methods and neural network models to understand how microscopic, mescoscopic and macroscopic networks in the brain interact to encode information relevant for behaviour.
The ideal candidates will have a strong background in numerate sciences (physics, mathematics, engineering or informatics), and a keen interest in applying their numerate background to making breakthroughs in the understanding of the brain.
The postdoctoral researchers will be based for most of their time at the IIT (CNCS@UNITN), supervised by internationally recognized experts and will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories. The postdoctoral researchers will have access to the international network of neurophysiological collaborators of the Neural Computation lab, which includes N.K. Logothetis (Tuebingen), M.E. Diamond (SISSA) and several other leading neurophysiological laboratories.
Proficiency in English is required.
Interested applicants should contact Stefano Panzeri ( stefano.panzeri@iit.it) for any informal queries. For a formal application, the candidate will submit CV, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and name and email addresses of two referees by e-mail to both stefano.panzeri@iit.it and Sara Maistrelli ( Cncs_selezioni@iit.it).
The deadline for the application is December 5th 2013.
For recent reviews about the work in the laboratory of Neural Computation, prospective applicants are invited to consult the following articles:
