Hola, Aunque el campo de trabajo sea muy específico, me han pedido que de máxima difusión a esto.
Se trata de una beca para una estancia de 8 meses para Trento (Italia). Yo he estado en la fundación Bruno Kessler (para nuestro último curso de programación avanzada) y la verdad es que me quedé impresionado, tanto por el nivel del personal, como de las instalaciones. Puede ser una buena oportunidad para alguien que se sienta atraido por campo del "machine learning" y la Neurociencia (ya sabeis, dos 'hot- topics' con enorme potencial de desarrollo). Suerte! ----------------------------------------------------------- INTERNSHIP GRANTS IN MACHINE LEARNING FOR NEUROIMAGING The University of Trento and Fondazione Bruno Kessler assign 2 internship grants for carrying out research activity on machine learning methodologies for neuroscientific data analysis. The main goal is to investigate how machine learning approaches might provide competitive advantages in cognitive neuroscience investigations. The research effort focuses on two specific tasks: brain decoding and brain mapping. The challenge is to design effective computational methods for multivariate pattern analysis. The internship program aims to provide a comprehensive research experience that includes the design of a neuroimaging data analysis, the implementation of the computational process, the evaluation of the empirical results, the publishing of the scientific report. PhD scholarships will be assigned to proficient applicants to attend the ICT Doctoral School at the University of Trento at the end of the internship program. The internship program will take place at the Neuroinformatics Laboratory located at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences in Trento, Italy. The duration of the internship is 8 months. The beginning is scheduled for March 2011. The grant amount is 1350 euro per month. YOUR PROFILE This grant is intended for graduated students in computer science with background in machine learning or related field covering topic as pattern recognition and data mining. Experience with data analysis, preferably on fMRI, EEG or MEG data, is not mandatory even though it would be beneficial. Furthermore, experience in programming with Python and related tools for scientific computing are highly recommended. HOW TO APPLY The application form has to be mailed to the Head of the Department of Engineering and Information Science, University of Trento, Italy. Detailed instructions are available at the following addresses: http://disi.unitn.it/openings , http://static.digns.com/uploads/disi/openings/772/original/DD15.pdf For additional information or help, please email to paolo.aves...@unitn.it. Deadline for application is February 17th, 2011. ABOUT NILAB The Neuroinformatics Laboratory (NILab) rises as a collaboration between Fondazione Bruno Kessler and the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences in order to promote interdisciplinary research in cognitive neuroscience. The scientific research activity covers mostly the design and the development of novel models for the integration, the analysis, and the interpretation of unimodal and multimodal brain-imaging data.
