Openings at IIT@UNITN

A postdoctoral position will be available immediately at the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CNCS, Rovereto, Italy) at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia - IIT, to develop a sophisticated holographic system for volumetric visualization. The holographic system will be used by Dr. Fulvio Domini of CNCS for studying human 3D visual processing for perception and action. The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised by Prof. Enzo Di Fabrizio, Head of the Nanostructures Department (Genova, Italy) and Dr. Domini. The ideal candidate should have a physics or engineering Ph.D., and possibly have experience in optics and laser technology.

We seek highly motivated Italian or international candidates who are willing to work for some period of time at the Nanostructures Department, in Genova, and then build the new holographic system at CNCS, Rovereto. Applications should include a CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and names of 2 referees.

Post Doc Position

A Postdoc position is available in the research team of Dr. Antonino Casile, team leader in the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (Rovereto, Italy). The group is a newly established and very enthusiastic research team of CNCS. Part of it, is presently hosted in the Department of Neurobiology of Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, and focuses on investigating perception-action couplings in both humans and monkeys by means of different experimental tools.

The Postdoc position is immediately available and is meant to investigate the interplay between perception and action in the monkey at the level of single unit, by performing neurophysiological recordings in the mirror neuron system.

We seek highly motivated Italian or international candidates with an educational background in neuroscience, engineering, physics, computational neuroscience, biology or related fields. Experience in neurophysiology as well as programming (Matlab or C/C++) and data analysis skills are highly desirable. Applications should include a CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and names of 2 referees. Please send your application by E-mail both to Dr. Antonino Casile ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and Ms. Sara Maistrelli ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
