               GRADUATE TRAINING IN NEUROSCIENCE AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

***  Graduate application deadline for September admissions:  January 2, 2002. ***

Graduate study at Princeton University offers interdisciplinary
training in all areas of neuroscience.  Recent rapid growth at
Princeton has opened numerous research opportunities for students and
postdocs interested in molecular, cellular, and
quantitative/computational approaches to fundamental problems in
neuroscience.  Furthermore, the imminent opening of the Lewis-Sigler
Institute for Integrative Genomics brings exciting new opportunities
for chemistry, physics and engineering to be brought to bear on
problems in biology, including neuroscience.

Graduate training in neuroscience at Princeton is supported by a
training grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Princeton University is located in Princeton, New Jersey.  Its campus
covers approximately 500 acres and is one of the most beautiful in the
Ivy League.  It is located approximately one hour (by train) south of
New York City and one hour northeast of Philadelphia.
