    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.
