2-Year fMRI Postdoc, Center for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Italy

At the Center for Mind/ Brain Sciences (CIMeC, http://www.unitn.it/en/cimec), University of Trento, there will soon be an opening for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to work with Dr. Angelika Lingnau. Our group examines the neural systems involved in action execution and observation. Some recent publications as well as further descriptions of our ongoing research projects can be found under the following link: https://sites.google.com/site/angelikalingnau/.

The postdoc will be responsible for the design of several fMRI studies, conducting data analysis and leading the write-up of scientific work. The ideal applicant is highly motivated and creative and is capable of working both independently as well as in a young, dynamic group. The applicant furthermore should have experience with functional magnetic resonance imaging and/ or transcranial magnetic stimulation and a solid background in Cognitive Neuroscience. Programming experience with MATLAB or C is very desirable.

The Center offers an international and vibrant research setting with access to state-of-the-art neuroimaging methodologies, including a research-only 4T MRI scanner, MEG, EEG and TMS, as well as behavioral, eye tracking and motion tracking laboratories. The University of Trento is ranked first among research universities in Italy. English is the official language of the CIMeC, where a large proportion of the faculty, post-docs and students come from a wide range of countries outside of Italy.

Informal inquiries should be sent to Angelika Lingnau (angelika.lingnau@gmail.com).
