Offer Description
Research activities will focus on the validation and functional characterization of normal and pathological mouse models using advanced in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiological techniques. The investigation of neuronal activity and network dynamics will enable the identification of alterations in brain circuits associated with specific behavioural phenotypes. Particular attention will be devoted to preclinical models of schizophrenia, with the aim of elucidating the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
Experimental data will play a crucial role in the validation of computational models of the healthy and pathological cerebellum
The selections are open to candidates, Italian or foreigner, in possession, on the date of the deadline for submitting applications for the admission to the selection, of a master's degree or single-cycle degree obtained no more than six years previously are eligible to participate in the selection process. These degrees must be relevant to the subject of the research activity.
Further specific assessable qualifications (see Art. 1 par. 1 Call for applications):
Degree preferably in Neurobiology, biology or similar; PhD preferably in Biomedical Sciences; Previous experience with mouse models; conference presentations- publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
