Italian Institute of Technology

PHD PROGRAM in TRANSLATIONAL NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROTECHNOLOGIES
 
The Center for Translational Neurophysiology of Speech and Communication (CTNSC) @ 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:
– 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
 
Who: physicists, computer scientists, biomedical/electrical engineers, biologists, biotechnologist, medical doctors and experimental psychologists eager to work in an international and multidisciplinary team.
 
Where: The CTNSC (https://www.iit.it/it/ctnsc-unife) is hosted by the University of Ferrara (UNIFE) in a prestigious historical building in the city center. Ferrara is a well connected renaissance city (30-min to Bologna, 40-min to Padua, 60-min to Venice; 2 nearby international airports), bustling with students (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/733).
