[visionlist] NSF-IGERT Traineeships at Rutgers in Perceptual Science

[persci at rci.rutgers.edu]

Rutgers University announces a new NSF funded IGERT doctoral training
program in Interdisciplinary Perceptual Science. This program integrates
graduate training and research in computer modeling and human perception.
The program includes a Core Curriculum in Perceptual Science that offers
fundamental and bootstrapping course work so that it is accessible to
students from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds. Key research
areas include: motion; multisensory integration; perception of shape and
objects; eye movements; attention; search; visual communication;
computational depiction; human and machine learning; human-computer
interaction.

We offer 6 new IGERT traineeships/year.  Students apply for admission to
one of the participating academic departments: Psychology (New Brunswick
or Newark), Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and
Computing Engineering or Anthropology, and should indicate their interest
in the Perceptual Science program in their personal statement. IGERT
traineeships are limited to students who are either U.S. citizens or
permanent residents.  For non-permanent residents, Rutgers University
offers support in the form of university fellowships, graduate
assistantships or teaching assistantships to qualified students.  All
aspects of the program are open to interested students, regardless of
source of support.
Rutgers University and the NSF-IGERT program are committed to the goal of
broadening participation of under-represented groups in the sciences and
in academics.
