A Postdoc position is available in the research team of Dr. Antonino 
Casile, team leader in the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems 
(CNCS) a branch of the Italian Institute of Technology in Rovereto, 
Italy. The group is a newly established and very active research team of 
CNCS.

The postdoc would begin experiments in the Department of Neurobiology at 
Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. The position is immediately
