[visionlist] PhD and PostDoc positions at the Italian Institute of Technology

[Antonino Casile]

Dear Administrator,
could you please post the following two announcements?
Thanks in advance.
		Best, Antonino Casile

=================================================================
=================================================================
PhD Position in Human Psychophysics and Monkey Neurophysiology
=================================================================
=================================================================

A PhD position is available in the research team of Dr. Antonino Casile, 
team leader in the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CNCS, 
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 the Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, and focuses 
on investigating perception-action couplings in both humans and monkeys 
by means of different experimental tools.

The PhD position will be available in 2011 and it will be assigned based 
on an international competition. The call will be posted in March 2011 
and the winner of the competition will be announced before summer. The 
PhD program will follow the organization of the School of Doctoral
Programs of the University of Trento. Students interested in taking part 
to the competition can immediately start sending their CVs. In the
meantime we have also open positions as paid internship (equivalent to
research assistant). The position is meant for investigating the
interplay between perception and action either at the neurophysiological 
level by performing single-unit recordings in the monkey or at the 
behavioral level by performing psychophysical and possibly brain imaging 
experiments in humans. The final decision will depend on the specific
interests of the student.

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 (antonino_casile at hms.harvard.edu) and Ms. Sara Maistrelli
(Cncs_selezioni at iit.it).

Postdoc Position in Monkey Neurophysiology
=================================================================
=================================================================

A Postdoc position is available in the research team of Dr. Antonino
Casile, team leader in the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems 
(CNCS, 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 the 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,
