Ready for a <b>SMART</b><i>START</i> into Computational
Neuroscience? <br>
<br>
We invite first and second-year Master students with a
background in related fields to apply to our joint training
program <b>SMART</b><i>START</i>. The program aims at
complementing previous studies with concepts, theories and
techniques of Computational Neuroscience. <b>SMART</b><i>START
</i>consists of two programs. Both of them last one year each
and take place at numerous locations of the Bernstein Network
and further locations throughout Germany. <br>
<br>
<b>SMART</b><i>START </i>1 provides financial support to then
second-year Master students, allowing them to attend
supplementary courses and training visits at participating
institutions. Students will receive an experienced faculty
mentor who will advise and guide them at this educational stage.<br>
<br>
<b>SMART</b><i>START </i>2 provides fully funded positions for
pre-PhD students. At the start of the program, these students
will have already obtained their Master´s degree and are in the
process of selecting a PhD project. <b>SMART</b><i>START </i>2
allows them to elaborate their own PhD proposal as a
collaborative project between two labs. This comprises exchange
visits as well as voluntary attendance of lectures and courses
offered by participating institutions.<br>
<br>
Both <b>SMART</b><i>START</i> programs will commence in the
winter term 2016/17. <u>Deadline for application is Monday, Feb
29, 2016.</u><br>
