Graduate Training Program in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience in Houston
The Houston Neuroscience community has a new program in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience based on an NIH training grant recently awarded to the Gulf Coast Consortium for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience (GCC-TCN). This consortium consists of six research institutions, Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, The University of Houston, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center. We are offering a two-year curriculum of inter-institutional courses on modeling and imaging of neural systems integrated in the Ph.D. programs of each of the participating institutions. Four graduate fellowships will be awarded each year to support trainees in their respective departments.
The program seeks to recruit applicants with a strong theoretical/computational background for example, physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, or computer science, wishing to transition to a research career in neuroscience.
Applicants should consult the GCC-TCN website for information about participating departments and faculty members, and a list of available courses and other educational opportunities. Candidates should first apply to a specific Department/Institution. This is followed during the first year by an application for a GCC-TCN Fellowship through the GCC-TCN web site.
The Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy and The University of Texas Medical School in Houston has a special interest in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience. Many of our faculty members (see below) have theoretical interests and projects, we hold a program project grant in computational neuroscience, and several of our faculty members hold the prestigious Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) grants. For more information please contact Dr. Harel Shouval, or the one of the departments faculty members listed below. More information about the graduate studies in Neuroscience at UTH can be found at the Neuroscience Graduate Program web page. For application to graduate studies please consult the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences web site.
