            GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING IN NEUROSCIENCE
                     UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS

  *** Application deadline for fall admissions: January 5, 2002. ***

  The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of California,
  Davis offers interdisciplinary training in areas spanning from
  molecular to cognitive neuroscience. Numerous research opportunities
  exist for students and postdocs interested in computational modeling
  approaches to problems in neuroscience. The Center for Neuroscience
  and the Institute for Theoretical Dynamics offer excellent research
  facilities and an ideal environment for combining theoretical and
  experimental approaches. The Center for Neuroscience also offers
  postdoctoral training via an NIH sponsored training grant.

  Faculty include:

  David Amaral - structure and function of hippocampus, amygdala
  Marie Burns - photoreceptors, molecular mechanisms of transduction
  Ken Britten - visual cortex, neural basis of motion perception
  Leo Chalupa - retinal neurophysiology, development
  Barbara Chapman - development and plasticity of sensory systems
  Will DeBello - auditory system development, structural remodeling
  Fred Gorin - molecular neurobiology, neuroinformatics
  Andrew Ishida - retinal ganglion cells, synaptic integration
  Ted Jones - thalamo-cortical interactions, neuroinformatics
  Leah Krubitzer - principles of cortical organization, comparative studies
  Kim McAllister - synaptic physiology, development
  Brian Mulloney - central pattern generator circuits for locomotion
  Bruno Olshausen - computational models of vision, efficient coding
  Gregg Recanzone - plasticity in auditory cortex
  Karen Sigvart - neural control of locomotion, Parkinson's disease
  Mitch Sutter - cortical mechanisms of auditory perception
  Marty Usrey - retina/LGN/V1 physiology, neural circuits and spike timing
  Jack Werner - color vision and aging
  Martin Wilson - synaptic transmission in the retina
  Ewa Wojciulik - visual attention, functional imaging
  Andy Yonelinas - memory, functional imaging

  The application deadline may be nominally met by submitting an online
  application and fee, along with a form letter, via the web site:

  Davis is located approximately 15 miles west of Sacramento, the state
  capital. It is a unique community with miles of bicycle paths and
  beautiful parks, and in close proximity to the Napa and Sonoma wine
  country, the San Francisco bay area, Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra.
