Civili di Brescia and the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences CIMeC of the
University of Trento. The research focus of these projects is the effects
of non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS and tES) on cortical networks of the
human brain during motor and perceptual tasks and their contributions to
learning.

The post is available from May 2017 and is funded for one year in the first
instance, with the possibility of extension for further 2 years.

Key Requirements

   -

   We are seeking for aspiring individuals with substantial experience in
   TMS-EEG or EEG research and strong computational abilities.

   and their disorders.
   -

   Successful candidates should have a background and PhD degree in a
   neuroscience-related field,

   broadly specified, and skills for working with complex empirical data

   -

   Applicants should have experience with conducting experimental research,
   hands-on knowledge in

   EEG method, and documented skills in at least one programming language
   (preferably Matlab).
   -

   Good command of the English language (written and oral), as well as
   skills for teamwork in a

   multidisciplinary research group, are required.
   -

About the employer

The IRCCS San Giovanni di Dio Fatebenefratelli is operating since 120 years
and has been appointed and funded as national centre of excellence in
research and care by the Italian Ministry of Health since 1996. More than
4500 patients with Alzheimer’s Dementia or associated disorders and about
1700 patients with psychiatric diseases are treated each year. The research
division, besides the Cognitive Neuroscience Section, includes the
laboratories of Genetics, Neuropsychopharmacology, Neurobiology, Proteomic,
Neuroimaging, Ethic and Epidemiology and employs about fifty professional
researchers.

The Cognitive Neuroscience Unit is provided with several state-of-the-art
devices necessary for the application of brain stimulation techniques
(transcranial magnetic stimulation: TMS, rTMS, and transcranial electrical
stimulation: tDCS, tACS and tRNS) and for the recording and the analysis of
electrophysiological signals (EEG, EMG) as well as neuropsychological
testing. The simultaneous co- registration of electroencephalography and
TMS application is also available, field where we have been pioneers in the
national research.
