We invite applications for one Postdoctoral Researcher in Topological and Network Neuroscience to work with Dr. Giovanni Petri at ISI Foundation.
This is a full-time, 1-year fixed term position (renewable for a second year). This interdisciplinary project will leverage recent advances in topological data analysis tools to investigate structural and dynamical alteration in brain connectivity and functions, with special attention to neurodegenerative diseases. The appointed researcher is expected to interact with members of the group, as well as with graduate and phd students, and to work across a range of applications of network and topological data analysis, exemplified by the multiple internal and external collaborations (with the ISI "Mathematics and Foundations of Complex Systems" Lab led by Prof. Yamir Moreno, with the computational neuroscience group led by Dr. Demian Battaglia, Aix-Marseille; with the Brain Dynamics Lab, led by Prof. Manish Saggar, Stanford; with the cognitive control lab led by Prof. Jonathan Cohen, Princeton). While the appointed researcher will focus on analysis and modelling of neurodegenerative conditions, the techniques developed are expected to be valuable across a range of data-driven approaches, e.g. complex systems, computational topology, machine learning and computational mesoscopic modelling.
