The Laboratory for Computational Brain Modeling and Analysis at Rutgers University has several funded openings for PhD students in Computational Brain Our Lab is part of the CS Department, which has been consistently ranked at the top-35 CS Departments in U.S. We are searching for Renaissance types who are broadly trained and can march across disciplines to find solutions In addition to Computer Science, there are 5 areas of knowledge required for a successful presence in the Lab - robotics, signal analysis, system identification, mathematics and neurophysiology When you come (or when you leave), you are expected to be proficient in at least three of these areas Interested students could send a 1-page summary of their background and how it relates to the Computational Brain Analysis and Modeling as well as their CV to: konstantinos.michmizos@cs.rutgers.edu, with email subject: PhD_openings-Comp_Neuro-2016 === Applying Please note the PhD admission criteria for the CS Department, listed at https://www.cs.rutgers.edu/graduate/faq.whtml The deadline to be considered for the Fall semester of 2016 is January 1st All complete applications should be submitted through our online application system http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu === Papers For the most recent papers relevant to these opportunities, interested students are invited to consult the following articles KP Michmizos, S Rossi, E Castelli, P Cappa, HI Krebs (2015) Robot-Aided Neurorehabilitation: A Pediatric Robot for Ankle Rehabilitation. IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, pp. 1-11, doi: 10.1109/TNSRE.2015.2410773 S Khan, KP Michmizos, M Tommerdahl, S Ganesan, M Kitzbichler, M Zetino, K Garel, M Herbert, M Hamalainen, T Kenet (2015) Somatosensory cortex functional connectivity abnormalities in autism show opposite trends, depending on direction and spatial scale. Brain, doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/brain/awv043 === COMBRA Lab COMBRA Lab has ongoing collaborations with research labs at MIT and McGill University as well as clinical sites at Harvard Medical School and the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital The Lab is integrated into the Center for Computational Biomedicine Imaging and Modeling (CBIM) Center, a highly multidisciplinary Center at Rutgers that includes research labs on human motion capture experiments, machine learning and robotics === Rutgers University Rutgers University is the 8th-oldest college in the United States, one of the top-50 universities in the world with 250 years of innovation in research and teaching Rutgers is in the middle of the greatest concentration of industrial and government research laboratories in the U.S., within 1-hour drive to Manhattan, NY and Philadelphia -- -- combra.cs.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------- Konstantinos Michmizos Assistant Professor Head Computational Brain Modeling and Analysis Lab Computational Biomedicine Imaging and Modeling Center Department of Computer Science Rutgers University
