Assistant or Associate Research Professors, Center for Mind/Brain
Sciences, Trento


The Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento
is seeking to fill a number of research positions in cognitive
neuroscience at the Assistant or Associate Research Professor level.
The Center offers an international and vibrant research setting in
which to investigate the functioning of the brain through the analysis
of its functional, structural and physiological characteristics, in
both normal and pathological states. Researchers at the Center make
use of state-of-the-art neuroimaging methodologies, including a
research-only MRI scanner, MEG, EEG and TMS, as well as behavioral,
eye tracking and motion tracking laboratories. The Center also
includes a neuropsychology and neuro-rehabilitation clinic (CERiN).
The Center strongly encourages collaborative and innovative research,
and provides the opportunity for all researchers to access laboratory
resources and to be part of the Doctoral School in Cognitive and Brain
Sciences. CIMeC also has close collaborations with local research
centers, including FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler) and IIT (Italian
Institute of Technology), through joint projects and through the
doctoral school. Further information about the Center can be found at:
http://www.cimec.unitn.it.

The ideal researchers (from all areas of cognitive neuroscience,
including computational neuroscience and neuroimaging methods) must
hold the Ph.D. or M.D. degree, and should have a record documenting
research creativity, independence, and productivity. We are looking
for researchers able to build and maintain a high quality research
program and to contribute to the maintenance of a collegial and
collaborative academic environment.

The Center offers excellent experimental facilities and a competitive
European-level salary in the context of a rapidly growing and dynamic
environment. Funding is available for 6 years. The initial contract
would be for 3 years. There is no associated university teaching load,
although researchers will be expected to participate in the research
culture of the Center through seminars, supervision of students and
other activities.

The University of Trento is ranked first among research universities
in Italy, and the Trentino region is consistently at the top for
quality of life and for the most efficient services in Italy. English
is the official language of the CIMeC, where a large proportion of the
faculty, post-docs and students come from a wide range of countries
outside of Italy. CIMeC’s labs and the PhD School are in Rovereto
(about thirty kilometres south of Trento) and Mattarello (eight
kilometers south of Trento).

If you wish to receive further information please contact the Director
of the CIMeC, Prof. Alfonso Caramazza (alfonso.caramazza@unitn.it) or
Vice-Director Prof. Giorgio Vallortigara
(giorgio.vallortigara@unitn.it) by November 15, 2010.
