The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI)
at the University of Trento and its research partner Fondazione Bruno
Kessler (FBK), invites applications for 2 open PhD positions in the
area of Machine Learning for Neuroscience, both of them covered by
scholarship.

The deadline for applications is March 16, 2011, before 13:00, CET.

The PhD research program aims at carrying out research activity on
machine learning methodologies for neuroscientific data analysis. The
main goal is design and deploy machine learning algorithms for
neuroimaging-based cognitive neuroscience investigations. The research
effort focuses on two specific tasks: brain decoding and brain
mapping. The challenge is to design effective computational methods
for multivariate pattern analysis.

The PhD research program will take place at NILab, the
Neuroinformatics Laboratory raised as a joint initiative of Fondazione
Bruno Kessler and the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences of the University
of Trento.

The grant amount is around 13.500 euro per year before tax. Students
who win the PhD scholarship will have the tuition fee waived.
Additional support from the Province of Trento is available for
accomodation, which amounts approximately 1250 euro per year.

Exceptional candidates may obtain an additional internship grant to
cover the interleaving period between notification of acceptance,
April 2011, and the beginning of PhD Scholarship, November 2011.

Details on the PhD School and a link to the online application are
provided below.
