Hi all, PhD and Postdoctoral positions are open in computational neurosciences at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy). Research topics include: how movement modulates neural responses to visual stimuli; integrating connectomes in mechanistic models of brain functions; building normative models of neural representations. Approaches from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics and machine learning will be used, and models will be constrained by new electrophysiological and connectomic data. Prior experience with computational neuroscience is a plus, but it is not required.
Positions will be part of the vibrant community at Bocconi University, which includes researchers working in neuroscience, machine learning, computer science and statistics (a complete list of researchers can be found in the websites of the Department of Computing Sciences <https://cs.unibocconi.eu/>, Decision Sciences <https://dec.unibocconi.eu/> and the BIDSA <https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/>). Bocconi University is committed to building a diverse intellectual community (a detailed strategic plan can be found at this link <https://www.unibocconi.eu/wps/wcm/connect/bocconi/sitopubblico_en/navigation+tree/home/about+us/diversity+equity+and+inclusion/>) and we particularly encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply to these positions. Application deadline for PhD students is February 1st, 2023. Postdoctoral application reviews will start on Dec. 1st and will continue until positions are filled; the ideal starting date is before June 2023. Candidates should send their CV and a brief cover letter to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> All the best, Alessandro Sanzeni
