Connectionists: Graduate studies at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute - deadline Nov 27!

[Yael Niv]

The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Princeton University offers a unique and intensive program of study spanning molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive neuroscience, followed by advanced research in a world-class Princeton laboratory. We seek highly motivated and creative students to join us in our efforts to understand the brain.

A listing of faculty affiliated with the program can be found online at http://pni.princeton.edu/faculty-research/faculty-research-summary, and below. Our doctoral program is flexible and individually-tailored, and we encourage students to pursue research with more than one faculty and across departmental boundaries.

Applications for entry in the Fall of 2017 are now being accepted, with a deadline of November 27 (note that this is earlier than usual). For details, including contact information, please visit www.princeton.edu/neuroscience. Applicants from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands who have questions about their ability to meet all admission requirements by the deadline should reach out to gs at princeton.edu. Applicants experiencing financial hardship can apply for a waiver<https://gradschool.princeton.edu/admission/applying-princeton/deadlines-and-fees/application-fee-waivers> of the application fee.
