Job OverviewUniversity: IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Tuscany, Italy Country: Italy Fields: Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Data Science, Psychology, Cognitive Science Position: PhD (Full Funding) Deadline: Not specified About The University Or Research InstituteIMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca is a distinguished graduate institution located in the picturesque region of Tuscany, Italy. Renowned for its interdisciplinary approach and rigorous research standards, IMT Lucca attracts scholars from around the globe. The university is situated within the historic city walls of Lucca, offering a unique blend of academic excellence and cultural heritage. Students agevolazioni from a globally diverse environment, state‐of‐the‐art facilities, and a strong emphasis on international collaboration. The campus fosters a close-knit academic community, making it an ideal setting for intensive research and personal development. Research Topic and SignificanceThe primary research focus of this PhD position is on fMRI data modelling, with an emphasis on understanding whole‐brain dynamics using large‐scale databases. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has revolutionised neuroscience by allowing researchers to observe brain activity in vivo. However, the complexity and volume of neuroimaging data present significant analytical challenges. This project aims to advance methodologies for modelling whole‐brain dynamics, contributing to our understanding of neural mechanisms underlying cognition, behaviour, and neurodevelopment. Insights gained from this research are crucial for both fundamental neuroscience and the development of clinical applications, such as diagnostics and interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders. Project DetailsThe successful candidate will join a small, dynamic research group at IMT Lucca, benefitting from close supervision and mentorship. The lab is committed to fostering a supportive environment, allowing for personal
