The Marcus Autism Center, in
conjunction with the Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta, is offering three fellowships: the Simons Fellowship in
Computational Neuroscience, the Simons Fellowship in Design Engineering, and
the Cohen Fellowship in Developmental Social Neuroscience. Attached, please
find a brochure describing the fellowships. I ask that you let us know that
you have received this e-mail and that you forward it, along with the
associated brochure, to students in Indiana University's Department of
Pyschological and Brain Sciences.
Students who will receive a
bachelor’s degree by June 2015 will be eligible for the positions. The
fellowships will commence in July 2015, and they are 2 years in duration.
Students can find further details at: cohenfellowship.org and simonsfellowship.org.
The training experience for
the Cohen Fellowship in Developmental Social Neuroscience will primarily
involve daily activities related to eye-tracking research, including operation
of experimental equipment and paradigms, contact with infants and toddlers and
their families, and responsibility for completing experimental protocols.
The training experience for
the Simons Fellowship in Computational Neuroscience will involve
developing methods for the analysis of visual scanning and eye-tracking data,
computational models of visual salience, and data visualization techniques, all
with the aim of advancing the understanding of autism and efforts at early
diagnosis.
The training experience for
the Simons Fellowship in Design Engineering will involve developing
innovative design solutions to answer experimental research questions. These
solutions offer an opportunity to explore human factors engineering, product
prototyping, and the design of environments for neuroscience research.
