Call for Expression of Interest for three positions (2 PhD, 1 Postdoctoral Research Scientist).
The University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy, invites expressions of interest for three positions (2 PhD, 1 Postdoc). We aim to train young researchers with scientific and professional profiles responding to the ever growing need for methodological and technological skills in the life sciences, with impact both in the academic and industrial world.
The research and training will span interconnected areas such as, for example, Neurotech (neuronanotechnologies, neuromorphic computing, many-person neuroscience), Artificial Intelligence (deep learning and machine learning for biomedical data modeling (images, signals, sounds, videos, radiation therapy planning etc), Biomedical imaging and simulation (physics of quantitative biomedical imaging, Monte Carlo dosimetry), Novel drug delivery and neuromodulation tech (focused ultrasound for permeabilization of the blood brain barrier and for deep neuromodulation), Physiological systems modeling (dynamical/complex systems for brain connectivity, pharmacokinetic modeling, non-invasive quantitative biomarkers based on physical techniques), development of HW/SW for non-invasive physiological signal monitoring.
We seek highly motivated, results-oriented graduate and postgraduate candidates for full-time positions. The work may be both computational and experimental, depending on profile and interests.
You will join an interdisciplinary team (https://fismed.uniroma2.it/) that values collaboration, teamwork, and enthusiasm. You will be exposed to national and international collaborations and research problems across all basic and clinical sciences. The group has a history of publications (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=kyI6AJ8AAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate) in high impact journals, to which you will be supported and encouraged to contribute. Grant-writing and drafting of scientific publications will also be part of daily activities. Occasional involvement in university level teaching activities will also be possible.
Our research is currently funded by the European Commission (Horizon 2020 and EIC), the Italian National Ministry of Health, The Italian Association for Cancer research (AIRC), the US department of defense (DOD) and the National Institutes of health (NIH) as well as private institutions and foundation. Strong links to Industry are also active.
Expressions of interest should include a brief motivation letter and a Curriculum Vitae and should be sent to Prof. Nicola Toschi ([email protected]).
