Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship
Burroughs Wellcome Training Program
in Mathematical and Computational Neuroscience (PMCN)
Boston University
The goal of PMCN is to facilitate the transition of a small and outstanding
set of predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows from the mathematical and
physical sciences to a range of areas in neuroscience. Financial support
for both PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows is
available. The program features special seminars, mentoring by faculty and
advanced trainees, and a dynamic and well-networked intellectual life
provided by multiple supporting institutional modules. These include a new
degree-granting Program in Neuroscience (PIN; http://www.bu.edu/pin) the
graduate program of the Biomedical Engineering department (BME;
http://bme.bu.edu) and the Center for BioDynamics (CBD; http://cbd.bu.edu).
Predoctoral fellows will enroll in one of two PhD programs (PIN or BME) that
focus on the combination of experimental and computational neuroscience.
Burroughs Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellows will design individualized programs
that include neuroscience courses and one or more research projects that
emphasize combined computational and experimental
approaches to neuroscience. In addition, fellows may participate in the
CBD, which helps physical scientists and engineers to address research
problems at the interfaces among mathematics, physics, biology and
engineering.
PMCN is directed by H. Eichenbaum and N.Kopell. The senior faculty members
are P.Cook, K.Harris (biology), M. Hasselmo, H. Eichenbaum, D. Somers, C.
Stern (psychology), S. Colburn, J. Collins, J. White (biomedical
engineering) T.Kaper, N. Kopell, G. Wayne (math). For further information
and instructions about applications, see our website at http://pmcn.bu.edu
or email pmcn@bu.edu. Our mailing address is PMCN, C/0 G. Duffy, Department
of Mathematics, Boston University, 111 Cummington St., Boston MA 02215.
