Workshop: Living systems, from interaction patterns to critical behavior.

by suweis infn

Workshop: Living systems, from interaction patterns to critical behavior Venezia, San Servolo Island 16-19 September 2015 http://www.pd.infn.it/~maritan/SanServolo/index.html <http://www.pd.infn.it/~maritan/SanServolo/index.html> *** DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: June 15, 2015 **** Recent availability of large volumes of ecological and biological data spanning a wide range of scales, made it evident that, despite their diversity, living systems are characterized by patterns/regularities repeated from microscopic to global scales. This workshop aims to explore how these recurrent phenomena emerge as the result of concerted interactions among their constituent elements (e.g. species, or genes), using a combination of approaches inspired by statistical mechanics, network analysis and the theory of complex systems. The aim of the workshop is to introduce students and young researchers with strong background in quantitative sciences to methods and ideas used to describe such complex systems. The range of topics covered at the workshop is very broad, ranging from genomics to ecology, with the ultimate goal of identifying similarities and differences of complex biological systems operating at different scales. Fee* 150 euro. (*) We will grants 3 fee waivers to support the attendance of PhD students and Junior Post Doctoral researchers (no more than two years from their PhD completion). Prospective participants who are eligible should accompany send an email to the Organizing Committee (LIPh.unipd(a)gmail.com <mailto:LIPh.unipd@gmail.com>) requiring the fee waiver, providing the CV and a motivation letter. The acceptance will be notified together with the admission to the school. LECTURERS Sergey Maslov Kim Sneppen Antonio Celani Amos Maritan Stefano Allesina Joshua Weitz Speakers (Confirmed) Andrea Rinaldo Jayanth Banavar Henrik Jensen Flavio Seno Paolo De los Rios Achille Giacometti Guido Tiana Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino Sandro Azaele PROGRAM The workshop will present a wide-range of interdisciplinary problems using creative approaches grounded in statistical physics. In particular there will be three main sections: Bio, Bio2Eco (e.g. bacteria) and Eco. In each section it will be given a series of lectures and seminars.

PhD position, University of Genoa, Italy – "Multidimensional peripersonal space sensing"

by Silvio P. Sabatini

Applications are invited for one full-time PhD studentship (with scholarship) for a period of 3 years, at “The Physical Structure of Perception and Computation” (PSPC) lab of the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and System Engineering (DIBRIS), University of Genoa, Italy. The position, starting Nov 1st 2015, is on one of the following research projects: 1/ Representing peripersonal space through sensorimotor likelihoods. The activity will focus on the design of theoretical models by converting computational approaches from engineering into cortical-like models of implicit representations of the peripersonal space. 2/ Integration of motion-in-depth multi-sensory information flows in the peripersonal space. The goal of the project is to investigate how different cross-modal information can enable arm and hand-related actions in the peripersonal space. Specifically, the focus will be on the development of a neuromorphic cognitive system for detecting/encoding motion-in-depth multimodal information flows relative to body parts. Both projects will provide the opportunity to work on neural modeling, visual psychophysics, robotics, or a combination of them. Experimental, modeling, and theoretical approaches might be pursued with a different accent according to personal attitude. Ongoing cooperation, at international level, with research groups of different disciplines, will ensure a highly interdisciplinary and stimulating environment. Successful applicants would have a good honors _Master degree_ in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or related disciplines, strong interest in computational neuroscience, and an open mind for interdisciplinary research. Online application are available from April 13, 2015 at 12.00 noon (Italian time) to June 10, 2015 at 12.00 noon (Italian time). Full details on the call and the application procedure will soon be available at: http://www.studenti.unige.it/postlaurea/dottorati/XXXI/ENG/ and http://phd.dibris.unige.it/biorob/index.php/how-to-apply Prospective students, please contact Silvio Sabatini (silvio.sabatini(a)unige.it) providing your CV and qualifications, the name and contact details of two references, and a description of your research interests indicating which of the two positions you are interested in. DIBRIS is a unique inter-school department of the University of Genoa, bridging together researchers from the former Science and Engineering Faculties. It offers an excellent multidisciplinary, interactive and collaborative research environment combining expertise in computer vision, computational neuroscience, neuromorphic computing, robotics and mechatronics. PSPC-Lab (www.pspc.unige.it) has a long-standing expertise in visual coding and multidimensional signal representation, robot perception and computer vision. In the last five years, the lab’s research activity focused on the analysis of the structural mechanisms of visuo-spatial cognition, responsible for orienting and interacting in the 3D space. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Silvio P.
