               GRADUATE TRAINING IN NEUROSCIENCE AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

*** Graduate application deadline for September admissions: January 2,
2002. ***

  Graduate study at Princeton University offers interdisciplinary
training in
  all areas of neuroscience. Recent rapid growth at Princeton has
opened
  numerous research opportunities for students and postdocs interested
in
  molecular, cellular, and quantitative/computational approaches to
fundamental
  problems in neuroscience. Furthermore, the imminent opening of the
Lewis-Sigler
  Institute for Integrative Genomics brings exciting new opportunities
for
  chemistry, physics and engineering to be brought to bear on problems
in
  biology, including neuroscience.

  Graduate training in neuroscience at Princeton is supported by a
training
  grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Faculty include:
  Michael Berry - Neural computation in the retina
  William Bialek - The interface between physics and biology
  Jonathan Cohen - Neural bases of cognitive control
  Lynn Enquist - Neurovirology
  Michale Fee - Motor control and sequence generation in birdsong
  Alan Gelperin - Olfaction
  Elizabeth Gould - Neurogenesis and hippocampal function
  Michael Graziano - Motor control and perceptual representations in
cortex
  Charles Gross - Visual perception and visual learning
  Michaela Hau - Neuroendocrinology
  Bartley Hoebel - Neural circuits for reinforcement of behavior and
cognition
  Philip Holmes - Modeling of neural systems
  John Hopfield - Computational neurobiology / biophysics
  Sabine Kastner - Attention
  Barry Jacobs - Neural substrates of arousal and emotion
  Partha Mitra - Engineering principles in biological systems
  Ken Norman - Neural bases of episodic memory
  Jeffry Stock - Membrane receptors and signal transduction
  David Tank - Measurement and analysis of neural circuit dynamics
  Frank Tong - Attention and perception
  Anne Treisman - Attention and intention
  Joe Tsien - Molecular bases and neural coding of learning and memory
  Samuel Wang - Dynamics and learning in neural circuits; brain
evolution
  Eric Wieschaus - Embryonic development of Drosophila melanogaster

  Students are admitted for study through the Departments of Molecular
  Biology, Physics, or Psychology. Once admitted, students must meet
the
  degree requirements of the department to which he/she is admitted.
