Connectionists: Ph.D. Program in Behavioral and Neural Sciences (BNS) at Rutgers University-Newark (Deadline: December 15, 2012)

[Mark A. Gluck]

Dear Colleagues:

If you know of superb graduating seniors or research assistants at 
your institution who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in 
neuroscience, please pass this letter on to them or post it on an 
appropriate bulletin board.

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. 

The campus of the BNS program is located in Newark, New Jersey, 13 
miles from New York City, with extensive public transportation links 
between the two. For more information, and links to faculty profiles 
and related resources, see:
                                      http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu

The admissions link can also be reached directly 
at: http://www.bns.rutgers.edu/

The deadline for applications is December 15 and interviews of the 
top candidates will take place on Friday and Saturday, February 
22-23, 2013. Late applications may be considered on a case-by-case 
basis.

PS. RE SFN THIS MONTH IN NEW ORLEANS. Although I will not be there 
myself, several of the Rutgers-Newark Neuroscience faculty will be 
there, as will three of the graduate students and postdoctoral 
fellows from my own lab. If any potential PhD program applicants are 
interested in meeting with these faculty or members of my lab, please 
email me ASAP to set up.
