Three-Year PhD Opening: Network mechanisms of recovery in human stroke

The position

In the context of the European Training Network “European School of Network Neuroscience“ (euSNN), we are offering a full-time 3-year PhD position for a person with a strong background in computational neuroscience and neuroimaging. The successful applicant will be working in Padova at the Padova Neuroscience Center (PNC) and Department of Neuroscience. The position involves the analysis of a unique prospective longitudinal cohort of first-time stroke patients and healthy controls studied at Washington University in St. Louis.

The gross amount per year will be of 39.217,20 € while the net amount per year will be of 34.740 €, family allowance will be granted if necessary.

Abstract of the project

The human brain is one of the most complex networks with 80 bilions cells (neurons, glia) interacting through hundreds of trillions of connections to support consciousness, thought, emotions, and survival. One of the main factors limiting complex networks, from airport nets to colonies of ants, is the energy necessary to maintain their organization.

Research Grant program in bio-optics

A call for admission to a Research Grant in bio-optics, microscopy, nano-optics (curriculum in physics, biotechnologies, materials science, biophysics) is open at the group of Nanodevices of Dept. of Physics and Astronomy.

Title of the project

Two photon microscopy for the study of tissue recellularization.

Abstract of the project

The innovative branch of Regenerative Medicine intends to restore the physiological function of damaged or diseased tissues by stimulating repair processes. The grant is proposed within the framework of LIFE LAB that is a large interdisciplinary project that aims at regenerating whole organs, such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys as well as by reconstructing tissues.

One position for a postdoctoral fellowship

One position for a postdoctoral fellowship has been opened (see details below) in the context of the following project:

Title of the project

Multi-variate analysis of resting state activity and visually evoked response to natural stimuli to map the representation of information in intrinsic brain activity

Application deadline

13/07/2020 23:59 – Europe/Brussels

Abstract of the project

This project aims to understand whether multivariate spatial patterns of activity measured with fMRI evoked by natural visual stimuli (e.g. faces, bodies, etc.) or by movie stimuli are also represented in multi-variate spatial patterns of resting-state activity. Previous work from the PI lab has shown that in object selective category regions of visual cortex (e.g.
