The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia – IIT - was founded with the objective of promoting the country's technological development and further education in science and technology. In this sense, IIT's scientific program is based in the combination of the basic scientific research with the development of technical applications, a major inspirational principle. The research areas cover scientific topics of high innovative content, which represent the most advanced frontiers of modern technology, with wide application possibilities in various fields ranging from medicine to industry, from computer science to robotics, life sciences, and nanobiotechnology.

The Dept. of Neuroscience at IIT provides state-of-the-art research facilities in electrophysiology, imaging and molecular and cellular biology. It brings together a large number of researchers with diverse backgrounds, working in concert to achieve high standards in training education and research.

One Postdoctoral position is available in the field of Neurophysiology of Action Control to investigate how neuromodulatory pathways act in a coordinated manner to shape bidirectional synaptic plasticity at the level of neuronal circuits relevant for action planning and adaptation.

Two post docs positions are available at the Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Learning in the framework of the collaboration between IIT and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

REF 2 (BC: 68020 - BC: 68021)

The Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia 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.

Effective immediately, we have 2 openings for postdoc positions in the Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Learning in Cambridge, MA (USA) - LCSL@MIT that extends the existing collaboration between IIT and MIT.

The research will be focused on theory and algorithms for learning (structured, unsupervised, online), with a focus on the problem of learning data representations.

Post Doc call in "3D computer vision in Space Environment" @ Artificial Physiology Lab, Center for Space Human Robotics - IIT@PoliTo, Torino, project P55005
