1 Assistant Professor position
(Deadline June 20th, 2022 13:00 )
Fields
structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging, cognitive neuroscience, perception, sensorimotor processing, neural representation
Activity
The appointed candidate will participate in the research activities of the MoMiLab Research Unit related to the analysis of brain activity through functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and of brain structure through morphological MR imaging. The RTD-A Fellow should show expertise in the acquisition and analysis of brain imaging data to conduct independent and original research projects, but also to support collaborative projects on the neural correlates of sensorimotor processing and representations. These projects will require the exploitation of novel MRI-based data acquisition and analytical tools (e.g., multivariate pattern methods). In particular, research activities may regard:
- Development of experimental protocols to determine the neural correlates of perceptual/motor processing and representation
- Analysis of brain imaging dataset belonging to open-access (medical) image repositories
- Support to the data acquisition and processing of MRI data in the IMT-affiliated research centers
- Application/development of advanced MRI-based data analytical tools
Profile
The candidate must possess established expertise and a proven portfolio of research within the following research fields: signal processing of MRI data; (advanced) analysis of brain functional data; application of brain imaging processing and analysis methodologies to address the neural correlates. Important criteria also include knowledge of current status of research in the field of brain imaging applied to cognitive neuroscience; possibly established national and international collaborations; a proven record of publications in international scientific journals.
Formal requirements
PhD in a field related to the present call obtained in Italy or abroad. Curriculum with a suitable scientific background for carrying out research activity in the required field.
