Vision and Learning in Humans and Machines IGERT Program
http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/groups/igert/

Department of Computer Science and Engineering
University of California, San Diego

The Vision and Learning IGERT program is pleased to announce that
predoctoral training fellowships are available for incoming Ph.D.
students and existing UCSD Ph.D. students. Prospective Ph.D.
students must apply to a home department concurrently with applying
for this fellowship.

The fellowships are supported by the National Science Foundation's
IGERT program (Integrative Graduate Education and Research
Traineeship) and provide an annual stipend of $30,000 plus the
payment of tuition and fees. The fellowship is for a twelve-month
period and renewable for an additional year. NSF requires that
candidates be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.

The Vision and Learning IGERT program is for students who have an
interdisciplinary interest in the areas of human vision, computer
vision, human learning, and machine learning. Our goal is to train a
new generation of scientists and engineers who are as versed in the
mathematical and physical foundations of computer vision and
computational learning as they are in the biological and
psychological basis of natural vision and learning.

Candidates from a wide range of backgrounds are invited to apply,
including, but not limited to, Computer Science and Engineering,
Cognitive Science, Psychology and Neuroscience.

We currently have twenty-two fellows and 21 faculty affiliated with
the program, representing numerous academic departments and research
institutes, both on and off campus.

Participating Faculty include:

Gary Cottrell, Computer Science and Engineering (PI)
Geoff Boynton, Salk Institute (Co-PI)
Virginia de Sa, Cognitive Science (Co-PI)
Karen Dobkins, Psychology (Co-PI)
David Kriegman, Computer Science and Engineering (Co-PI)

Thomas Albright, Salk Institute
Marian Stewart Bartlett, Institute for Neural Computation
Serge Belongie, Computer Science and Engineering
Leslie Carver, Psychology and Human Development Program
Sanjoy Dasgupta, Computer Science and Engineering
Gedeon Deak, Cognitive Science and Human Development Program
Charles Elkan Computer Science and Engineering

Donald MacLeod, Psychology
Javier Movellan, Institute for Neural Computation
Vilayanur Ramachandran, Psychology
Martin Sereno, Cognitive Science
Joan Stiles, Cognitive Science and Human Development Program
