Connectionists: Postdoctoral Fellowships in Computational Neuroscience — NIH T32 Training Program, Brown University (review begins Sept 1)

[thomas_serre at brown.edu]

The Nancy G. Zimmerman Center for Computational Brain Science at Brown
University is recruiting postdoctoral fellows in computational neuroscience
for its NIH T32 Training Program. Eligible research spans brain and
cognitive modeling across multiple scales and levels of analysis, from
biophysics to artificial intelligence, with potential connections to mental
health and psychiatry.

Fellows work with a primary trainer in a computational field and may add a
second mentor in clinical psychiatry, working in areas such as
neuroimaging, neurostimulation, and digital phenotyping.

Trainers span applied mathematics, computer science, engineering,
neuroscience, neurosurgery, and psychiatry. Fellows join a growing cohort
of postdocs across the Zimmerman Center, our sister ICoN T32 in
computational, cognitive and systems neuroscience, and ARIA, Brown's new
$20M NSF institute on trustworthy AI assistants. The program includes core
seminars in grant writing, responsible conduct of research, and rigor and
reproducibility, alongside an individualized curriculum.

Two to three fellows are appointed each year. Requirements: a PhD and/or MD
completed before the start date, research experience in a computational
field, and a record of publication. Per NIH T32 rules, applicants must be a
US citizen or permanent resident at the time of appointment.

Applications are submitted through Interfolio: a CV, a statement of
research interests, up to three representative publications, and the names
of three references. Review begins September 1, 2026. Candidates are
encouraged to contact individual trainers in advance to explore shared
interests and to mention this in their statement. The list of faculty
