Group Leader position for a computational neuroscientist at the

European Brain Research Institute ‘Rita Levi-Montalcini’  (Rome, Italy)

A four-year Group Leader position for a computational neuroscientist is available with the goal to advance ongoing in house in vivo electrophysiological recordings in behaving mice and/or large-scale whole brain cellular and synaptic image analysis.

The position offers a fully working laboratory for in vivo electrophysiology, dedicated behavioural equipment, a senior post doc trained in experimental in vivo electrophysiology in behaving mice. The successful candidate is expected to establish a scientifically independent group with own projects, while interacting closely with researchers at EBRI. Applicants should have strong expertise in computational analysis of electrophysiological data, as well as proficiency in large language models and machine learning algorithms. First-hand experience in experimental work (behavioural, electrophysiology or imaging) would be a plus, though not strictly required.

To apply please send the following documents to the attention of EBRI Scientific Director, Prof. Enrico Cherubini, via email at   <scientific.assist@ebri.it> : A one-page cover letter, a curriculum vitae, list of publications, a short outline of research project you intend to pursue (maximum 2 pages) and two reference letters.

The European Brain Research Institute (EBRI) is a non-profit research center, located in Rome, founded by the Nobel Laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini. It is dedicated to investigating fundamental questions on the development and functional organization of the brain and to translating basic science into strategies to ameliorate neurological diseases and disorders that affect the nervous system and impose a high economic and social burden.
