Full Professor, Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Trento The BottiniLab at the Center for Mind and Brain Sciences (CIMeC), University of Trento, invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral position. We seek a highly motivated researcher with a strong background and experience in cognitive neuroscience to join our team. Research Focus: The successful candidate will investigate the interplay between memory, eye movements, cognitive maps, and attention. Applicants are strongly encouraged to propose their own innovative research projects within this broad framework. The postdoc will also collaborate closely on existing lab projects and participate in co-supervising Ph.D. students. Qualifications and Experience: • PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field. • Strong research experience in at least one neuroimaging method (fMRI, MEG, EEG, intracranial EEG). • Expertise in studying cognitive functions such as memory, attention, eye movements, and spatial cognition is highly desirable. • A strong publication record relative to career stage. • Motivation and ambition to pursue an independent scientific career, including securing external research funding (e.g., ERC Starting Grant). We warmly welcome experienced postdocs aiming to critically contribute to the research in the lab and eventually transition to independent research careers. We can offer structured guidance on grant writing, the BottiniLab has a proven record in successfully obtaining competitive European Research Council (ERC) funding, having secured ERC Starting, Consolidator, and Proof-of-Concept grants over the past 6 years. Early-career postdocs, who just earned a PhD, are equally encouraged to apply. Lab Environment: The BottiniLab is an international research team, comprising members from diverse regions around the world. Our group currently includes 3 postdocs, 3 PhD students, 2 research assistants and it is continuously growing. The working language at CIMeC is English, ensuring an inclusive and globally connected research environment. Facilities and Resources: The CIMeC hosts state-of-the-art facilities exclusively dedicated to research, including: • Magnetoencephalography (MEG) – Newly acquired, best signal ever! • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation combined with EEG (TMS-EEG) • Human intracranial stereotactic EEG, facilitated through our external collaborations with leading neurosurgical centers Some Recent Publications: their visual space when retrieving concepts from memory bioRxiv Sigismondi, F., Xu, Y., Silvestri, M., & Bottini, R.
