Offer Description
We are looking for highly motivated early-career researchers to fill a postdoctoral position that will open in the coming months at the University of Ferrara (Department of Neuroscience and Rehabilitation) and the Italian Institute of Technology (Center for Translational Neurophysiology).
The work location is Ferrara, a vibrant medium-sized city northern Italy, 40 minutes from Bologna, 50 to Padua, 1 hours to Venice, and 2 hours to Milan.
You'd be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary team in which physicians, psychologists, biomedical engineers, computational scientists, physicists, chemists, and biologists collaborate, each with their own expertise, towards a shared vision.
The research group (4 full professors, 4 researchers, 2 technicians, 7 postdocs, 3-4 new PhDs each year) conducts research in the area of Neurophysiology of Speech and Sensorimotor Communication. From the development of innovative brain interfaces to advanced neural signal processing and machine learning, from speech-based communication to implicit sensorimotor coordination in healthy and neuropsychiatric or neurological populations, our goal is to develop a new understanding of how brains generate effective informational coupling and, when compromised by pathology, to devise new technologies for theranostic purposes.
The group is very well funded and has exclusive access to state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities: 1 Motion Capture Lab (e.g., Vicon, AMTI force platforms, Eyetracking, etc.), 2 noninvasive human neurophysiologyLabs (e.g., 3 EEG systems, 4 TMS systems, 3 EMG systems, etc.), 2 animal neurophysiology Labs, 1 mechanical Lab, and 1 electronic Lab.
The research group has strong collaborations and authorizations to conduct data collections in clinical populations in the areas of neurosurgery (Udine Hospital, Ferrara Hospital), neurology (S. Lucia Rehabilitation Hospital in Rome, Gaslini Pediatric Hospital in Genoa, and Rehabilitation Unit of Ferrara Hospital), psychiatry (Ferrara Hospital).
We are looking for different profiles we can synthetize as follows: - Neurophysiological data analyst (mainly but not exclusively ECoG data)- Human invasive neurophysiologist (to conduct ECoG experiments)- Non-invasive neurophysiologist (TMS, Motion Capture and EEG data working on motor control)- Non-invasive neurophysiologist (TMS and EEG data working on speech)- Clinical researcher with a strong quantitative background (stroke patients rehabilitation)
