Congratulations to postdoctoral fellows
We'd like to congratulate several of our postdoctoral fellows who have moved or are moving on to real jobs. Anatoly Buchin came to UW in 2016 as a Swartz postdoc working with the Fairhall lab on network models of Hydra. Anatoly did his PhD with Boris Gutkin at the École Normale Superieure on interactions between biophysical properties of neurons and network dynamics, a background he brought to his several projects at UW and [...]
Training for diverse career paths
In a recent SfN webinar Developing a 21st Century Workforce, moderated by Katja Brose, speakers Huda Akil, Elisabeth van Bockstaele and Adrienne Fairhall discussed training for career paths beyond academic science, the importance of interdisciplinary training, and strategies for programs and individual students to gain opportunities to enhance students' quantitative backgrounds. At UW, UWIN, the Computational Neuroscience program and the CSNE aim to provide students with these training opportunities and to give exposure [...]
Graduate training applications now open!
We are very happy to announce that there are now multiple opportunities open for graduate student support in computational neuroscience and related areas. Applications are due on July 17. Please see the websites of each program for relevant requirements. All of these slots are open to graduate students in a wide range of degree programs as long as your research lies in an appropriate area. Applications can be shared between programs; please indicate [...]
