Science jobs from Italian Institute of Technology: job description

Following an agreement between the Italian Institute of Technology and  
the University of Genova (Italy), a call for a three-year Doctoral  
School on “Life and Humanoid Technologies” has been opened. The  
Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is a research institution in  
Italy that is currently in an advanced startup phase. The fellowships  
assigned by IIT to the University of Genova are part of the start-up  
strategy of the Institute and have the specific goal of forming the  
first generation of IIT’s research fellows. Following the start of the  
research labs at the IIT’s Headquarters in Genova, the PhD program  
supported by IIT is organized in a doctoral school on “life and  
humanoid technologies”, and is organised in the following 4 courses:

1) Neuroscience and Brain Technologies (10 fellowships available)
2) Drug Discovery (8 fellowships available)
3) Robotics, Cognition and Interaction Technologies (25 fellowships  
available)
4) Nanosciences (20 fellowships available)

Each course offers research topics proposed by the research directors  
and by their senior collaborators. The candidates are asked to outline  
a research proposal of their choice with explicit reference to the  
theme proposed. The soundness of the proposal will be part of the  
evaluation process and will be considered preferential for the choice  
of the individual scientific theme that will be made jointly by the  
tutor and by the candidate. Details on the courses, the official text  
of the call that describes the application procedure, and the  
application form can be found at:

More details on IIT are available on the IIT web site:
