IURILLI LAB
Laboratory of Systems Neurobiology and Behavior
Our mission is to discover the neural circuitry and organizational principles that enable animals to modify their actions swiftly and aptly in real time, a cornerstone of natural intelligence.
Our labs are located within the Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Rovereto, Italy.
We seek motivated individuals strongly interested in neural circuits, computation, and behavior. Candidates eager to learn and apply a range of cutting-edge neurophysiological and computational techniques are especially encouraged to apply. If you are interested in joining our team, please send your CV and a statement of interest to giuliano.iurilli@iit.it. Applications for Master’s thesis, Ph.D., and postdoc positions are considered on a rolling basis. More info here.
We are grateful for funding from IIT, the Armenise-Harvard Foundation, and the European Molecular Biology Organization - EMBO.
