The Neuroscience Program at the University of Southern California
(http://www.usc.edu/dept/nbio/ngp/) has an active program of research in a
broad
range of areas of Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience including vision,
motor control, visuomotor coordination, linguistics (with an active new focus
on an action-oriented approach to the evolution of brain mechanisms of
language), neuroinformatics, neural engineering, and memory and learning. 

The Training Grant in Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience at USC has one
opening for a postdoctoral trainee, effective immediately. Candidates must be
US nationals or permanent residents. 

In addition to the NIH-mandated salary, the trainee will receive 4 units/year
tuition, payment of mandatory student fees, a travel allowance of $500 and
$3500 for training related expenses (M&S).

Candidates with a strong interest in Computational and/or Cognitive
Neuroscience should email an application to Michael Arbib
(arbib@pollux.usc.edu) with the following materials:

1. Name, email, and statement of US citizenship or permanent resident status 
2. Undergraduate institution, major, GPA and GRE.
3. Ph.D. thesis title and abstract, institution and years of study, list of
all
graduate courses taken (with grades).
4. A one page statement of interest in Computational and/or Cognitive
Neuroscience as an area for postdoctoral research, with a list  of one or more
possible supervisors at  USC with reasons for your choice(s).
5. A list of publications, presentations, and awards.

In addition, the applicant should ask three researchers with relevant
expertise
to send Dr. Arbib a half-page email attesting to the applicant's suitability
for a traineeship.

Applications and support letters must be received by August 19, 2002 for
consideration for Traineeships for 12 months beginning either September 1,
2002
or January 1, 2003 (candidates should indicate for which of these periods they
are available).
