[FUN_Mail] Conduct your PhD at the Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester

[Gomez-Ramirez, Manuel]

The Department for Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester is inviting applications for its PhD program. We seek exceptional students from a broad range of backgrounds with a strong interest in understanding the neural and computational basis of perception, cognition and action using experimental and theoretical approaches.


Application Deadline: December 4, 2022, strongly encouraged but late applications accepted

Start Date: July or September 2023.

Application Details & Link: http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/graduate/admission.html

Program Info: http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/graduate/curriculum.html.


We especially encourage applications from minority and/or underrepresented students.


The BCS department<http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/> is one of the leading places of research in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and at the center of a vibrant and supportive scientific community. It has particularly strong ties to the Center of Visual Science<https://www.cvs.rochester.edu>, the Department for Neuroscience<https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neuroscience.aspx>, the Department for Computer Science<https://www.cs.rochester.edu>, the Department for Linguistics<http://www.sas.rochester.edu/lin/>, and the Data Science Institute<https://www.sas.rochester.edu/dsc/>. PhD students with interdisciplinary research programs are eligible for joint PhD degrees with several departments.


Every admitted PhD student is guaranteed 5 years of funding at currently ~$31.5k/yr (currently equivalent to ~120% NIH rate) which affords a good standard of living in an inexpensive city. We also provide a single plan UR health insurance, full tuition scholarship, paid family leave, and enduring NY State social protections. Both University and city are exceptionally LGBTQIA+ friendly.


We believe that being a successful scientist requires not just dedication and supportive mentorship, but also a good work/life balance and the ability to explore one's passions both within and outside the lab. There are lots of ways to enjoy your time here: world-class symphony, museums, and a wide range of outdoor activities: several parks within cycling distance, 1h by car to Finger Lakes / wine country / skiing, 3h to great hiking in the Adirondacks. We also have a balanced 4 season climate with weather for every occasion: Lilac Festival in the spring, beautiful sunny summers (<10 days above 90 degrees), gorgeous fall foliage, and guaranteed snow in the winter.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our beloved program administrator Kathy Corser<mailto:kcorser at ur.rochester.edu> or to any of our PIs directly.
