The SENSEx Lab, together with the Theory of Neural Networks Group (lead by Sebastian Goldt)  at SISSA, was awarded a Bridge Postdoc postdoctoral fellowship. Bridge fellowships are a new SISSA initiative to support in-house cross-disciplinary research. Our project will use novel machine learning and neural networks approaches to investigate the statistical structures that emerge in large neuronal populations during the course of learning, based on a new problem-solving task we have developed for rats. Anyone interested in applying – contact us!

Like all other PhD programs at SISSA, the curriculum in Cognitive Neuroscience, leading to the PhD in Neuroscience, is in English and caters to students from all over the world. The core component of the curriculum is the original research work performed by the student. 

A call for PhD positions is usually opened twice a year, in Spring and Fall.  Find more information at The PhD at a Glance | Cognitive Neuroscience. 

Master students can apply for an internship in the Lab at any time.

A joint Graduate Program in Cognitive Science is offered by the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (University of Trento) and SISSA. Find more information at UniTrento-SISSA programme.
