[FieldTrip] PostDoc opportunity at CIMeC - Neural substrates and temporal dynamics of prehension (fMRI/MEG)

[Luca Turella]

PostDoc opportunity at CIMeC - University of Trento

Neural substrates and temporal dynamics of prehension (fMRI/MEG)



A postdoctoral position (funded by italian "FIRB 2013" grant) will be
available soon at Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC,
www.unitn.it/en/cimec) at the University of Trento (Italy). The topic of
investigation will cover the neural substrates and temporal dynamics of
action representations during planning and execution. The focus of the
project is on the investigation of the coding of prehension movements at
the level of their neural representations using fMRI and at the level of
their dynamics using MEG.



The requirements for the candidates are the following.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in a field related to Cognitive
Neuroscience. Previous experience with EEG/MEG or fMRI methods and data
analysis is required. The ideal candidate should have good programming
skills in Matlab, preferably related to EEG/MEG data analysis (Fieldtrip)
and/or to fMRI data analysis (SPM/BrainVoyager). Knowledge of kinematic
data analysis is also a plus. Knowledge of Italian language is not required.



The Center for Mind/Brain Sciences at the University of Trento is an
outstanding working place situated in a beautiful surrounding (e.g.
Dolomites, Garda Lake; see http://www.visittrentino.it/en). CIMeC offers an
international and vibrant research setting with access to state-of-the-art
neuroimaging methodologies, including a research-only MR scanner, MEG, EEG
and TMS, as well as behavioural, 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.



The salary will be proportional to the level of experience and the starting
date of the appointment is negotiable, but within the next 6 months.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled. The contract
will have a duration of 2 years. Applications should be sent to
luca.turella at unitn.it, including complete CV, statement of research
interests, and contact details of two referees. Potential candidates are
also encouraged to send me directly informal inquires
luca.turella at unitn.it<luca.turella at gmail.com>
