We are establishing a new Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at
Columbia University in New York City.  

The co-directors are 

Larry Abbott http://www.brandeis.edu/projects/abbottlab/abbott_lab.html
Ken Miller   http://neurotheory.columbia.edu/~ken

Other faculty include

Ning Qian    http://brahms.cpmc.columbia.edu/
Bill Bialek (visiting 1 day/week) http://www.princeton.edu/~wbialek/wbialek.html

The faculty listed above will all be here by Sept. 2005, and we expect
to have additional long-term visitors, research staff and faculty.
Columbia has a strong research program in experimental neurobiology
(http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/neurobeh/nb_phd_res_area.html) and in
computational biology (http://www.c2b2.columbia.edu/). We hope to create
one of the most exciting and interactive environments anywhere for
bringing theoretical approaches to Neuroscience.

We are accepting applications for postdoctoral fellows and graduate
students in the Center. 

For postdoctoral fellowships, applicants should have a strong background
and education in theoretical neuroscience or biology or in a
quantitative field such as mathematics, theoretical or experimental
physics, engineering, or computer science, and commitment to a future
research career in neuroscience. Prior biological or neuroscience
training is not required. TO APPLY, please send a curriculum vitae, a
statement of previous research and research goals, up to three relevant
publications, and have three letters of recommendation sent to us.
Applications are due by Feb. 14, 2005.

For graduate fellowships, apply to an existing Ph.D. program at
Columbia (details on our web site). Separately, notify us that you
wish to be considered for a fellowship in Theoretical Neuroscience by
sending email with a letter explaining which program you've applied
to, why you intend to pursue Theoretical Neuroscience in your graduate
work, and what background you bring to it. Please also include a copy
of your application materials, and ask your referees to send us copies
of their letters.  Note that the priority application deadline for
most programs is either Jan. 3 or (for engineering) Dec. 15.  However,
the programs also consider applications submitted after the priority
deadline; strong candidates should not be deterred from applying
because of the late date.

Application materials may be sent by email to Alla Kerzhner,
alla at neurotheory.columbia.edu; please include your name and
"postdoctoral fellowship, CTN" or "graduate fellowship, CTN" in the
subject line.  Alternatively materials may be sent by surface mail
(address on our web site).
