[Neuroinfo] Call for applications: SMART START - a joint training progamm in Computational Neuroscience for young researchers

[Mareike Kardinal]

*Call for applications*

Ready for a *SMART*/START/ into Computational Neuroscience?

We invite first and second-year Master students with a background in 
related fields to apply to our joint training program *SMART*/START/. 
The program aims at complementing previous studies with concepts, 
theories and techniques of Computational Neuroscience. *SMART*/START 
/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.

*SMART*/START /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.

*SMART*/START /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. 
*SMART*/START /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.

Both *SMART*/START/ programs will commence in the winter term 2016/17. 
_Deadline for application is Monday, Feb 29, 2016._
