[visionlist] Postdoctoral fellowship: Neuroimaging of Visual Stability

[Melcher, David Paul]

The Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento wil seek to fill a postdoctoral researcher position for a research project on the neural correlates of visual stability. This project examines the neural correlates of our ability to individuate and keep track of complex objects across saccadic eye movements.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and demonstrate relevant experience in neuroimaging methods and analysis, in particular fMRI, MEG or TMS.  Applicants with a research focus in visual perception, eye movements or neuroimaging methods are particularly encouraged.  The position is for 2 years in the first instance.
The Center offers an international and vibrant research setting in which to investigate the functioning of the brain through the analysis of its functional, structural and physiological characteristics, in both normal and pathological states. Researchers at the Center make use of state-of-the-art neuroimaging methodologies, including a research-only MRI scanner, MEG, EEG and TMS, as well as behavioral, eye tracking and motion tracking laboratories. The University of Trento is ranked first among research universities in Italy, and the Trentino region is consistently at the top for quality of life and for the most efficient services in Italy. English is the official language of the CIMeC, where a large proportion of the faculty, post-docs and students come from a wide range of countries outside of Italy. CIMeC’s headquarters (administrative offices, labs and PhD School) are in Rovereto, about thirty kilometres south of Trento. The neuroimaging labs are in Mattarello (eight kilometers south of Trento).
For an informal discussion please contact Prof. David Melcher (david.melcher at unitn.it).
