Connectionists: Computational Neuroscience Graduate Positions available at the University of Minnesota

[David Redish]

The Neuroengineering IGERT Training Program at the University of Minnesota,
funded by the National Science Foundation, is inviting outstanding students
to apply through the Graduate Program in Neuroscience or the Biomedical
Engineering Program. The IGERT program is aimed at training the next
generation of scientific and technical leaders in the interface of
engineering and systems neurosciences, as broadly defined. The training
themes include:

1) Neural decoding - Computational and theoretical neuroscience and
neuroengineering studies on decoding theory, methods, as pursued via animal
models or human studies. Neuroimaging is also pursued as means of brain
decoding.

2) Neural modulation - Mechanisms of neuromodulation in brains for both
deep brain stimulation and transcranial stimulations.

3) Neural interfacing - Mechanisms of motor control and learning as applied
to brain-machine interface, as pursued in animal models and humans.

Outstanding training opportunities include mentoring by co-advisors from
over 40 faculty across engineering and brain sciences, a new
neuroengineering minor curriculum, industrial and international
internships, and general stipend and tuition coverage.
