Post-Doctoral Traineeship in Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Southern California

[Michael Arbib]

The Neuroscience Program at the University of Southern California
(http://www.usc.edu/dept/nbio/ngp/) has an active program of research
in a broad range of areas of Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience
including vision, motor control, visuomotor coordination, linguistics
(with an active new focus on an action-oriented approach to the
evolution of brain mechanisms of language), neuroinformatics, neural
engineering, and memory and learning.

The Training Grant in Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience at USC
has one opening for a postdoctoral trainee, effective
immediately. Candidates must be US nationals or permanent residents.

In addition to the NIH-mandated salary, the trainee will receive 4
units/year tuition, payment of mandatory student fees, a travel
allowance of $500 and $3500 for training related expenses (M&S).

Candidates with a strong interest in Computational and/or Cognitive
Neuroscience should email an application to Michael Arbib
(arbib at pollux.usc.edu) with the following materials:

1. Name, email, and statement of US citizenship or permanent resident status 
2. Undergraduate institution, major, GPA and GRE.
3. Ph.D. thesis title and abstract, institution and years of study, list of
all graduate courses taken (with grades).
4. A one page statement of interest in Computational and/or Cognitive
Neuroscience as an area for postdoctoral research, with a list  of one or more
possible supervisors at  USC with reasons for your choice(s).
5. A list of publications, presentations, and awards.

In addition, the applicant should ask three researchers with relevant
expertise to send Dr. Arbib a half-page email attesting to the
applicant's suitability for a traineeship.

Applications and support letters must be received by August 19, 2002
for consideration for Traineeships for 12 months beginning either
September 1, 2002 or January 1, 2003 (candidates should indicate for
which of these periods they are available).
