We are always looking for new lab members!
If you are intrigued by the great challenge of understanding how the brain generates flexible behavior, consider joining our team!

The lab is composed of researchers with wide-ranging and complementary skills and training. We aim to build a diverse and collaborative group of people who share their distinct approaches and thoughts to generate new ideas on the functions of neural circuits.
Our laboratory is in the beautiful Trentino region of Northern Italy, surrounded by the stunning Dolomite mountains. This location provides exceptional infrastructure for conducting research and is ideal for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Postdoc
Applicants should have a Ph.D. or M.D., expertise in animal studies using electrophysiology or imaging, and good programming skills in Matlab or Python. Previous experience working with mice is a plus but not a requirement. Applicants primarily interested in computational positions are encouraged to apply, but priority will be given to applicants also interested in conducting in vivo experiments.
The initial appointment is funded by the Armenise-Harvard Foundation for two years. We will also support you in applying for prestigious postdoctoral fellowships: Marie Skłodowska-Curie, EMBO, HFSP, and a L’Oreal-UNESCO. The starting date is flexible. Foreign candidates or Italian nationals who take a research job in Italy after >2 years of professional work (or a Ph.D.) abroad may be eligible for a 90% tax break.
Interested candidates should email Giuliano Iurilli at giuliano.iurilli@iit.it. Please include a cover letter describing your research experience and your specific ambitions and a Curriculum Vitae with a list of references.

Ph.D. students
The lab has open positions for graduate students. Our Ph.D. students are enrolled in the International Doctoral Program in Brain and Cognitive Science at the CIMeC (University of Trento).
The program starts in November and lasts for four years. Applications usually close in May.
