Dear all

I have the opportunity to open a new postdoctoral position in my laboratory (The “Neural Computation” laboratory) at the Centre for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems in Trento (Italy).

The postdoc will work to develop a set of novel information theoretic algorithms for the analysis of simultaneous recordings from large populations of retinal ganglion cells under dynamic natural visual stimulation. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the laboratory of Prof Tim Gollisch (University of Gottingen).

Interested applicants should contact Stefano Panzeri ( stefano.panzeri @iit.it ) by email, emailing their CV with the inquiry.

The position can be opened very rapidly. Therefore interested candidates are warmly suggested to inquire as soon as possible.

For recent reviews about the work carried out by the laboratory of Neural Computation, prospective applicants are invited to consult the following articles:
