Subject: [AUDITORY] New doctoral program for Computational Neuroscience at Penn From: Maria Geffen <mariageffen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 13:49:54 -0400--Apple-Mail=_EC02A54B-5543-46CD-9D6B-F59E6BEA2DB8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 The Computational Neuroscience Initiative <https://cni.upenn.edu/> at = the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce a new program for = Interdisciplinary Training in Computational Neuroscience (ITCN) = <https://cni.upenn.edu/education> at the doctoral level. The goal of the = ITCN is to train a new generation of scientists to make quantitative = links between properties of the brain and properties of the mind. ITCN = trainees will learn to use computational methodology to interpret = experimental results; build predictive models of brain function that = inform the design of the experiments; and support an ever-growing list = of neuroscience-related applications, from brain-machine interfaces in = the clinic to cutting-edge forms of artificial intelligence. The ITCN brings together students and faculty = <https://www.cni.upenn.edu/people> from Penn=E2=80=99s PhD programs in = Neuroscience <https://www.med.upenn.edu/ngg/> (Biomedical Graduate = Studies <https://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/>, Perelman School of Medicine), = Bioengineering <https://be.seas.upenn.edu/doctoral/> (School of = Engineering and Applied Sciences), Physics = <https://www.physics.upenn.edu/graduate/> (School of Arts and Sciences), = and Psychology <https://psychology.sas.upenn.edu/graduate> (School of = Arts and Sciences). To join the ITCN, students first apply to one of = those =E2=80=9Chome=E2=80=9D PhD programs. Once admitted, students then = typically apply to the ITCN before starting classes in their first year. = Those selected meet with the ITCN Advisory Committee, both individually = and as a group, to develop individualized training plans that meet the = goals and requirements of the ITCN and each student=E2=80=99s home = program. These plans include coursework, research, and other activities, = that aim to build both expertise in computational neuroscience and a = sense of community in the ITCN.
