FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE IN NEURAL NETWORKS RELATED TO COGNITIVE 
NEUROSCIENCE AND REHABILITATION RESEARCH 
 
The Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) is accepting applications
for two-year research fellowships.  MRRI provides an opportunity for mutual
collaboration with senior investigators in the field; educational
conferences, lab meetings, and weekly patient rounds; and access to a
variety of patient populations. Requirements include a PhD in a relevant
area of cognitive neuroscience or rehabilitation, training in research
design, and applied experience in data collection and analysis. Projects
are funded through Federal agencies, such as the National Institutes of
Health, as well as private foundations.  Individuals with the following
interests are invited to apply for the 1997-1998 fellowships: Applications
of neural networks to both theoretical and applied problems in
rehabilitation research, including 1) cognitive processing and/or acquired
language disorders, e.g. in stroke patients; 2) relationship between areas
of muscle weakness and compensatory musculoskeletal overuse symptoms in
polio and other neurologic diseases; and/or 3) prediction of functional
outcomes in rehabilitation patients.
 
Mentors include Drs. John Whyte, MRRI director; Myrna Schwartz, MRRI
associate director; Laurel Buxbaum; Branch Coslett; Mary Klein; Susan Kohn;
and Mary Segal.
 
MRRI is affiliated with a number of area academic institutions and has
close ties with departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation,
psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and bioengineering at
various institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, Temple
University, Lehigh University, and Drexel University.
 
MRRI is an equal opportunity employer.  For more information contact Mary
