Connectionists: Study Computational Neuroscience at Rutgers University-Newark with a Ph.D. in Behavioral & Neural Sciences (Updated Deadline: January 1, 2014)

[Mark Gluck]

If you know of bright and highly motivated graduating seniors or research assistants at your institution who have skills and background in COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE and are interested in pursuing research on neuro-computational brain modeling and applications of computational methods to functional brain imaging, they should consider an inter-disciplinary Ph.D. in “Behavioral and Neural Sciences” at Rutgers University-Newark in Newark, NJ.

The goal of the Graduate Program in Behavioral and Neural Sciences (BNS) at Rutgers University-Newark is to provide 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 stipend, 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 but many electives 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 recent integration into Rutgers of the former UMDNJ Medical School  provides our students with additional clinically-relevant training opportunities.

The campus of the BNS program is located in Newark, New Jersey, 13 miles from Manhattan, New York City, with extensive public transportation links between the two.

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

The revised deadline for applications is January 1, 2014 and interviews of the top candidates will take place late February, 2014. Late applications may be considered on a case by case basis.
