PhD Opportunities in Translational Neurosciences at Italian Institute of Technology
PhD positions available in Translational Neurosciences at Italian Institute of Technology, starting November 2025. Research areas include brain-computer interfaces, neuroelectronics, and machine learning.
The Center for Translational Neurophysiology of Speech and Communication (CTNSC) at Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), jointly with the University of Ferrara, is opening a number of PhD positions starting in November 1st, 2025.
Research areas include:
- Improving performance and biocompatibility of electrode arrays for brain-computer interfaces
- Organic neuroelectronics for multimodal recordings and stimulation of the brain in vivo
- Hardware and software development for innovative exploration of brain signals
- Machine learning applications to multimodal brain and speech signals
- Investigation of sensorimotor functions in animal models
- Cortical recordings in human patients during awake Neurosurgery
- Human non-invasive neurophysiology of speech and sensorimotor communication by means of TMS, EEG, EMG and MoCap
Applicants should be physicists, computer scientists, biomedical/electrical engineers, biologists, biotechnologists, medical doctors, or experimental psychologists eager to work in an international and multidisciplinary team.
The CTNSC is hosted by the University of Ferrara (UNIFE) in a prestigious historical building in the city center. Ferrara is a well-connected renaissance city with easy access to Bologna, Padua, and Venice.
For early inquiry, please contact Alessandro Dausilio at alessandro.dausilio@iit.it.
Application will open in June. Visit https://www.iit.it/it/ctnsc-unife for more information.
