Simona Olmi

The Institute for Complex Systems at the National Research Council in Florence (Italy) invites applications for a one year Postdoctoral Scholar in the fields of computational neuroscience, complex networks and nonlinear dynamics. The successful applicant is expected to work closely with a multidisciplinary research team led by Dr. Simona Olmi on problems related to neuroscience. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to the investigation of biologically realistic large-scale brain activity, the emergence of coupling between neural oscillations in neural architectures, the derivation of neural mass models in presence of short-term synaptic plasticity and/or spike-frequency adaptation as well as applications on brain structural connectivity matrices. Successful candidates are expected to primarily conduct computational and data driven research taking advantage of our international network of experimental collaborators and/or clinical partners.
