MS1/MS2/MS3/MS4 Students:
Two-week NIH Funded Summer Short Course in Computational Neuroscience
Deadline Feb. 1
Consider applying for a NIH-funded Summer Short Course (4-15 June 2018) titled “Interdisciplinary Training in Computational Neuroscience” for medical students interested in computational neuroscience.
The two-week NIH Summer course is absolutely free to attendees, with airfare, lodging, and meals paid for by the NIH. Applicants in previous years have had backgrounds in multiple disciplines including biological sciences, psychological sciences, engineering, medicine, physics and mathematics.
The interdisciplinary computational neuroscience short course includes limited experimental and systems neurophysiology components. The background expected is high school level calculus and programming together with a strong interest in learning about computational software. One of our goals is to introduce students to the process of biologically-based modeling incorporating data related to cellular and synaptic neurophysiology.
