<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">We are inviting applications for the
MSc program in Neural Systems and Computation, an
interdisciplinary program offered as a Joint Master Program by the
University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland. The program
offers a theoretical and laboratory training in neural computation
and systems neuroscience. It offers hands-on knowledge of data
gathering, analysis and scientific presentation. Students join an
international and interdisciplinary research community with
expertise in neuroinformatics, advanced experimental techniques
and neuromorphic engineering. Further information can be found on
our homepage <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
