Instructions The UCLA-Semel Institute NeuroImaging Training Program is an NIH-sponsored project, now in its seventh year, that seeks to bring non-traditional scientists, such as mathematicians, physicists, engineering, computer science and statistics into the field of Neuroimaging, and to promote a better understanding of these same fields among students already committed to Neuroscience.
A key educational component is participation in the specially developed two quarter course, "Principles of Neuroimaging". Interested students can follow this link to the syllabus for the current year's class. If you do not yet have the required background for the course, please note in your statement how you plan to fill in any gaps.
The fellowships are competitive. Prospective fellows should apply using this form. It is NOT necessary to receive a fellowship award in order to take the "Principles of Neuroimaging", nor are they required to obtain the complete training offered in the program.
Applications will close on 2013 May 31.
Note: Sections marked with an * symbol are required. All others are optional.
Note: Please be very careful in entering names and emails. Reference requests will be sent automatically by the system and we have no means to detect typing errors.
