PhD program in Systems/Computational/Cognitive neuroscience at U of Oregon
We are accepting applications to the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Graduate Program (INGP) <https://ion.uoregon.edu/training-programs/graduate-fellows> at the Institute of Neuroscience, a robust graduate training in Neuroscience across departments at the University of Oregon. The goal of INGP is to train students to think independently, creatively, and critically about problems in neuroscience. We aim to train students in a variety of skills that will prepare students for successful research, teaching, policy, or industry career. Students can enter INGP through the departments of biology, human physiology, psychology, mathematics, physics, computer and information science, and the Knight Campus, depending on their interests. The majority of our students enter through the department of biology, which allows students to complete three rotations during their first year, in order to help students identify a laboratory in which to do their dissertation research. Students who enter through psychology, physiology, and mathematics begin in their dissertation labs immediately. Regardless of how students enter INGP, they are provided with a set of mentors at the peer and faculty levels. All graduate students are required to teach for at least one academic year during their graduate career; at least a portion of this teaching takes place the first year. *Training Program* Students typically fall into a defined training program, however, training can be tailored to fit a student’s need and research interest. We offer two training tracks: Systems, Cognitive and Theoretical - Courses: cellular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, combinatorics, stochastic processes, neural networks. - Journal clubs: systems neuroscience, theoretical neuroscience. - Meetings: neural circuits and behavior, zebrafish groupie, joint theory lab meetings.
