Connectionists: PhD program in Neural Computation

[Dave_Touretzky@cs.cmu.edu]

The Ph.D. Program in Neural Computation (PNC) at Carnegie Mellon
University and the University of Pittsburgh is now accepting
applications.

Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with the University of
Pittsburgh, recently created a new Ph.D. program in computational
neuroscience called the Program in Neural Computation (PNC).  This
program, which is in its third year, is seeking qualified applicants
to begin their graduate training in the Fall of 2009.  The PNC is
supported in part by an NIH training grant, and emerged as an
outgrowth of the highly successful certificate program that has been
administered by the CNBC for about the last ten years.  Students in
the program can train with a wide array of faculty from both
Carnegie-Mellon and the University of PIttsburgh.

The PNC seeks to attract students with strong quantitative backgrounds
who are interested in graduate work in the area of computational
neuroscience, and for whom other graduate programs are often not the
best fit.
