Hi all, A fully-funded, three-year postdoctoral position in theoretical neuroscience is now available at Bocconi University's Department of Computing Sciences in Milan, Italy. The postdoctoral researcher will have the chance to explore various research topics, such as movement modulation of visual responses in mice, integrating connectomes in mechanistic models of brain functions, and building normative models of neural representations, among others. The research will utilize cutting-edge approaches from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, and machine learning, and will be informed by the latest electrophysiological and connectomic data. Prior experience with computational neuroscience is a plus, but it is not required. The postdoc will have the opportunity to become a part of the thriving neuroscience, machine learning, and computer science communities at Bocconi University. To learn more about these communities, please visit https://cs.unibocconi.eu/ and https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/. The postdoc will be a member of the NSF-funded Accelnet consortium "International network for brain-inspired computation," facilitating international collaborations between a large network of computational neuroscience/AI labs. At Bocconi University, we are committed to fostering a diverse intellectual community and encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply for these positions.
Applicants should apply via our on-line application system, which can be found at www.unibocconi.eu/post-doc<http://www.unibocconi.eu/post-doc>(Publication nr. 65633) by 23:59 of April 17th, 2023 (Italian time).
