The National Program in Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience opens up an additional possibility to join SISSA for a PhD this Fall, together with those recently admitted. SISSA is an elite postgraduate research institution in Trieste, Italy, focusing on Maths, Physics and Neuroscience. It operates in English: many among its students and faculty are not Italian. The Cognitive Neuroscience Department https://phdcns.sissa.it/ hosts 7 research labs, led by D Bueti, D Zoccolan, R Rumiati, D Crepaldi, M Diamond, E Piasini and A Treves, which study the neuronal bases of time and magnitude processing, visual perception, motivation and intelligence, language and reading, tactile perception and learning, inference and memory. Those admitted can design their own research projects within or across these labs, with a variety of approaches including behavioural, psychophysics, and neurophysiological experiments with humans and animals, computational and mathematical models. Candidates from diverse backgrounds (eg in the hard or life sciences, linguistics, medicine or psychology) are most welcome to apply, if daring. If interested, please register and apply immediately *** deadline Oct 19 *** to https://vele.unicam.it/CallforApplication/?st=2 (the Univ Camerino website handling all applications) indicating, within Curriculum 1: Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience, the position Code 1.7 ---------------------------------------------- Alessandro Treves Liminar Investigations of Memory and Brain Organization Cognitive Neuroscience, SISSA, Trieste, Italy +39 349 2504602 http://people.sissa.it/~ale/limbo.html
