“The brain’s dark energy: observation, perturbation, and disrupt studies of brain networks to understand cognition and stroke recovery”
The laboratory of prof. Maurizio Corbetta at the Padova Neuroscience Center at Padova University is looking for outstanding postdoctoral candidates that will join a team of graduate and post-graduate researchers. The aim of the project is to understand the relationship between fMRI connectivity measures and EEG electrophysiology, and the propagation of signals measured with TMS/EEG in healthy controls and stroke patients. It is expected that applicants will be conducting research using fMRI and TMS/EEG data.
Your profile:
- PhD degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline - and previous experience in EEG and/or MRI data analysis.
- Excellent programming expertise (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R, Bash).
- Strong statistical experience and knowledge of multivariate classification and regression algorithms.
- Autonomy in the formulation of study hypothesis, data analysis and scientific production will be strongly encouraged.
The post-holder will benefit from a very rich research environment in neuroscience with collaborating partners including the Department of Neuroscience of the University Hospital of Padova, as well as with clinical institutes. Our lab’s studies seek to investigate the relationship between spontaneous brain activity and behavior in both healthy controls and disease through state-of-art multimodal data: structural and functional neuroimaging, EEG, TMS/EEG, behavioral and neuropsychological measures.
The application may only be submitted by completing the online procedure available at https://pica.cineca.it/unipd/ from September 1st, 2021 h. 13.00 to September 30th, 2021, h. 13.00 (CET). The grant shall last for 24 months and shall entitle the Grant Holder to a gross remuneration of 25.000 Euro per annum, and gross entity of Euro 30.705.
The evaluation process will be made on CV, academic and professional experience, publications, reference letters and interview by a comparative evaluation. Please contact Prof. Maurizio Corbetta (maurizio.corbetta@unipd.it) with questions and visit here for the full version of the announcement.
