PhD scholarships, Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Berlin (Germany), Deadline: 15 Jan 2008

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Three-year doctoral program
Scholarships available

Deadline: 15 January 2008

The Berlin School of Mind and Brain invites applications for its
interdisciplinary three-year doctoral program. The focus of the program is
on the interface of traditional humanities and behavioral sciences
(philosophy, social sciences, linguistics, behavioral and cognitive
psychology) with neurosciences (neurophysiology, psychiatry, computational
neuroscience, neurobiology). Main research topics are 'conscious and
unconscious perception', 'decision-making' and 'language', 'brain plasticity
and lifespan ontogeny', and 'mental disorders and brain dysfunction'.
Students will be supervised by two professors, one from the 'mind sciences'
and one from the 'brain sciences'.

Applicants should have a Master's degree in philosophy, linguistics,
psychology, neuroscience, psychiatry, computer science, biology, law, or
economics - or another field related to mind/brain research.

The application deadline is 15 January 2008.

Students wishing to apply will have to present a research proposal which
reflects the interdisciplinarity of the graduate program and clearly states
the mind/brain aspect of their proposed project.

Successful candidates can apply for a three-year scholarship.

Applications of students who have secured funding already (scholarships,
research positions) may be reviewed on a continuous basis throughout the
year (15 January, 15 May, 15 September).

the structure of the doctoral program, participating researchers and
institutions, admission requirements and the application process.

The school is funded by the national Initiative for Excellence.
