A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Carlo Reverberi and Paolo Cherubini at the Dept. of Psychology of the Università Milano-Bicocca, Milan (Italy). The projects will focus on how and where our brain represents the information relevant for the effective execution of collaborative tasks.
The post holder will be required to design, set up, run and analyze experiments, and to contribute to their dissemination through scholarly articles and participation to conferences. The Lab is interdisciplinary, mixing expertise in cognition, neuroscience, statistics and mathematics. Experiments will use both behavioral and neuroscience techniques (e.g. multivariate analysis on fMRI data).
This project will be performed in collaboration with the John-Dylan Haynes lab at the Bernstein Centre of Computational Neuroscience, Charité - Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, thus the post holder is expected to spend part of the time (e.g. a year) at the BCCN-Berlin. FMRI data acquisition will take place at the Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging: The BCAN is equipped with two Siemens 32-channel 3 Tesla MRI systems.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive science, physics or mathematics, expertise in the analysis of large data sets and/or fMRI analysis, and excellent programming skills. The successful candidate is expected to work within the general framework of the project, but also to actively contribute with his/her own ideas.
The initial appointment is for two years. Salary will be commensurate with experience (23.000-28.000 Euro p.a. gross).
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae to Carlo Reverberi: carlo.reverberi at unimib.it as soon as possible.
Final deadline for the formal application will be mid November 2013.
