Connectionists: African-American Brain Health Initiative at Rutgers-Newark: Ph.D. Training and Postdoctoral Positions Available. (Deadline January 1, 2013)

[Mark A. Gluck]

We are seeking strong applicants to our PhD program (in Behavioral 
and Neural Sciences) or postdoctoral fellows to participate in 
research studies on memory, aging, cognition, and neurological 
disorders in African-Americans. The research is based at the Center 
for Neuroscience at Rutgers University-Newark, within the lab of Mark 
Gluck, Ph.D., and is part of the university's broader

African-American Brain Health Initiative

For more information, see  http://www.brainhealth.rutgers.edu

In partnership with local churches and other community and city 
organizations, we are combining educational programs on brain health 
and cognitive vitality in the African-American community with 
observational and interventional research studies on "Pathways to 
Healthy Brain Aging in African-Americans" along with studies of 
neurological disorders (especially Parkinson's disease and 
Alzheimer's disease) in African-American seniors.

Candidates for both the PhD and postdoctoral positions should have a 
strong background in experimental behavioral or biological research 
along with a prior history of familiarity and sensitivity to minority 
health issues and/or the African-American community. Note: These 
openings are for US Citizens or Green Card holders only.

More information on our lab and related research, educational, and 
global health programs is at http://www.gluck.edu

For information on our PhD program and other neuroscience resources 
at Rutgers-Newark (including our new NSF-funded Rutgers University 
Brain Imaging Center), see http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu

We are located in Newark, New Jersey, just outside (about 13 miles 
from) Manhattan/New York City 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: JANUARY 1, 2013.

Postdoctoral applicants should send a CV and cover letter with 
overview of their background and career goals, along with names and 
emails of potential recommenders to gluck at pavlov.rutgers.edu.

Graduate  program applicants should send a cover letter and CV to 
gluck at pavlov.rutgers.edu and also apply online at
	http://www.bns.rutgers.edu/

MORE INFO: The goal of the Graduate Program in Behavioral and Neural 
Sciences (BNS) at Rutgers University-Newark is to provide outstanding 
training across all areas of neuroscience as well as to provide 
intensive instruction within one area of focus so that graduates will 
be prepared for careers as academicians, educators and research 
scientists. Students are fully funded by the graduate program (not by 
individual faculty) for five years with a current stipend of about 
$30,000/year plus tuition and comprehensive health insurance. The BNS 
curriculum offers a wide range of courses that provide both breadth 
and depth. The program has only a few required courses so that 
students may tailor coursework to their individual backgrounds and 
needs. Students are primarily trained to conduct independent research 
and to present and discuss their results orally and in written form. 
Students also gain experience in undergraduate and graduate teaching 
and mentoring.

Thanks, Mark
