Up to 3 PhD positions in Cognitive Neuroscience are available at SISSA, Trieste, starting October 2025.

SISSA is an elite postgraduate research institution for Maths, Physics and Neuroscience, located in Trieste, Italy. SISSA operates in English, and its faculty and student community is diverse and strongly international. The Cognitive Neuroscience group (https://phdcns.sissa.it/) hosts 6 research labs that study the neuronal bases of time and magnitude processing, visual perception, motivation and intelligence, language, tactile perception and learning, and neural computation. Our research is highly interdisciplinary; our approaches include behavioural, psychophysics, and neurophysiological experiments with humans and animals, as well as computational, statistical and mathematical models. Students from a broad range of backgrounds (physics, maths, medicine, psychology, biology) are encouraged to apply.

The selection procedure is now open. The application deadline for the fall admission round is 21 August 2025. Please apply here, and see the admission procedure page for more information.

Please contact the PhD Coordinator Mathew Diamond (dia...@sissa.it) and/or your prospective supervisor for more information and informal inquiries.
