We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience. Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation. With us, your curiosity will know no bounds.We are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people. By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential.THE ROLEYou will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where physicians, psychologists, biomedical engineers, computational scientists, physicists, chemists, and biologists experts collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research. The Multiscale Brain Communication Research unit (CTNSC) is coordinated by Prof. Luciano Fadiga,
who has extensive experience in Neurophysiology.The research focuses on studying the mechanisms by which non-invasive brain stimulation promote neuro-behavioral plasticity in healthy individuals. This includes the study of motor neurophysiology, by means of non-invasive neurophysiological methods, motion capture and electrophysiological methods.Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:Designing experiments within the CTNSC research lines and, more specifically within the Brain & Machine Flagship projectExplore new non-invasive protocols to induce neural plasticity in motor circuits responsible for the planning, programming and execution of goal-directed reaching-grasping actionsAnalyzing data and writing scientific reportsESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTSA PhD in neuroscience, and similar disciplinesDocumented experience on the use of non-invasive brain stimulationA strong publication recordThe ability to properly report, organize and publish research dataGood command in spoken and written EnglishADDITIONAL SKILLSExperience on Electromyography and online brain stimulation protocolsKnowledge of matlab/python programming for statistical analyses and signal processingGood communication skillsStrong problem solving attitudeHigh motivation to learnSpirit of innovation and creativityGood in time and priority managementAbility to work in a challenging and international environmentAbility to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environmentPrevious successful experience working with the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia will be considered an advantage, all other evaluation criteria being equal. xysqume COMPENSATION PACKAGEA yearly gross salary of 30.000,00 euroPrivate health care coverage depending on your role and contractCandidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.Application’s deadline:November 12th, 2026#J-18808-Ljbffr
