[Comp-neuro] Doctoral studies in Computational/Theoretical Neuroscience at New York University

New York University is home to a thriving interdisciplinary community of researchers using computational and theoretical approaches in neuroscience. A full listing of neuroscience-related graduate programs is available at http://neuroscience.nyu.edu, and a listing of computationally-oriented faculty, sorted by their primary departmental affiliation, is given below. Doctoral programs are flexible, allowing students to pursue research across departmental boundaries. Nevertheless, admissions are handled separately by each department, and students interested in pursuing graduate studies should submit an application to the program that best fits their goals and interests.
