Ph.D. position on single cell recording in the avian brain

A Ph.D. position on single cell recording in the avian brain is available at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (University of Trento, Italy) from November 2019 and from November 2020 (application on April and selection procedures on May-June).
The project focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying numerical capacities and predisposition to detect animacy using the developing domestic chick forebrain as a model. A degree in neuroscience or related disciplines is required. Experience with single cell recording (not necessarily on the avian brain) is preferable. 
The laboratory is fully equipped and offers an exciting international and interdisciplinary work environment (http://r.unitn.it/en/cimec/abc/abc-team-members).
If interested in this position, please send a motivation letter, CV, publications, and e-mail addresses of two academic referees to prof.
