Ph.D. Studentship available

 

Announcing an opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. in developmental neurobiology/neural plasticity in the laboratory of Professor Sarah Pallas, currently at Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.  This fully-funded traineeship will provide a well-educated and highly motivated student the opportunity to gain research skills across systems, cellular, and molecular neuroscience, using different mammalian animal models.  Applicants should have a B.S. or M.S. degree in a related field (e.g. Neuroscience, Biology, Biophysics, Biopsychology, Bioengineering).  The lab was recently awarded two federal grants (NSF and DARPA) and is well-positioned to address long-standing questions about the interactions between sensory experience and genetic programs during development and plasticity of the visual and auditory systems.  Interested candidates should contact spallas@gsu.edu with any questions, and submit an application at http://neuroscience.gsu.edu/graduate/admission/ before the December 1 deadline.
