[Neuroinfo] Call for applications: Neuromatch Summer Academy Students, TAs and Mentors

[Eric DeWitt]

The pandemic has shut down nearly every summer program in the world at which students, postdocs and faculty would normally gather to acquire crucial skills and build networks.  We’re building a program to replace this loss. Our plan is to have a 3-week online course July 13-31 focused on computational analysis and simulation of neural data with intensive mentoring by knowledgeable TAs and faculty mentors to help with projects. Tuition will be relatively minimal  (~ 100-200 USD) and also voluntary. TAs will be paid a stipend for their time because it will be intensive. Mentorship by faculty will be substantially less work.  

Interested in signing up as a potential participant, a TA, or a faculty mentor?  Fill out one of the three forms below. Also, please feel free to send this out as widely as possible.  We’re trying to cast a global net, especially to people outside of the US and Europe. Tutorials will take place in parallel tracks in different time zones and in multiple languages when possible.

Note that the deadline for applications is April 27.
