The Sloan Center for Theoretical Neurobiology at UCSF solicits
applications for pre- and post-doctoral fellowships, with the goal of
bringing theoretical approaches to bear on neuroscience. Applicants
should have a strong background and education in mathematics,
theoretical or experimental physics, or computer science, and
commitment to a future research career in neuroscience. Prior
biological or neuroscience training is not required.

The Sloan Center offers opportunities to combine theoretical and
experimental approaches to understanding the operation of the intact
brain. Young scientists with strong theoretical backgrounds will
receive scientific training in experimental approaches to
understanding the operation of the intact brain. They will learn to
integrate their theoretical abilities with these experimental
approaches to form a mature research program in integrative
neuroscience. The research undertaken by the trainees may be
theoretical, experimental, or a combination.

TO APPLY, please send a curriculum vitae, a statement of previous
research and research goals, up to three relevant publications, and
have two letters of recommendation sent to us.

            The application deadline is February 1, 1998. 

Send applications to: 

                        Steve Lisberger
          Sloan Center for Theoretical Neurobiology at UCSF
                    Department of Physiology
                     University of California
                       513 Parnassus Ave.
                  San Francisco, CA 94143-0444

PRE-DOCTORAL applicants may be enrolled in a Ph.D. program in a
theoretical discipline at another institution. In this case, the
fellowship would support a cooperative training program between that
institution and UCSF that is acceptable to both
institutions. Applicants should indicate a faculty member at their
home institution who we may contact who would sponsor their research
at the Sloan Center. Applications for such a cooperative program will
be accepted at any time.

Alternatively, PRE-DOCTORAL applicants with strong theoretical
training may seek admission into the UCSF Neuroscience Graduate
Program as a first-year student. Applicants seeking such admission
must apply by Jan. 10, 1998 to be considered for fall, 1998
admission. Application materials for the UCSF Neuroscience Program may
be obtained from
