Post-doctoral position in Roma/Italy

POST-DOC POSITION IN BEHAVIORAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
------------------

We are seeking candidates for Post-Doctoral positions at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology (SAPIENZA, University of Rome, Italy), in the laboratory led by Prof. Alexandra Battaglia-Mayer.

The project, funded by MIUR (PRIN, Italy), is aimed at understanding the neural bases of the ability to control and coordinate our movements when acting in a social context, and the decisional processes, that guides the inter-individual action coordination. The neural mechanisms will be studied by making use of single cells and Local Field Potential recording techniques on behaving monkeys.
Ideal candidates must have a PhD in Neuroscience or a related field, expertise in neural data analysis (single-unit, multi-unit, LFPs), competence in Matlab programming and interest in the research topic.

The starting date for these positions is flexible. Initially for one year, the positions can be extended for a second year. Salary depends on experience and is based on SAPIENZA regulations (~€23.000-30.000/annum, net).
