Details.
This fellowship trains clinician-scientists, neuroengineers, and neuroscientists to produce and apply discoveries that can restore function to patients recovering from disabling brain injuries. Postdoctoral candidates in neuroengineering or computational neuroscience with a PhD, and clinician-scientists with an MD or MD/PhD, train under multidisciplinary faculty spanning anesthesia, biomedical engineering, computational neuroscience, neurology, neurosurgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychiatry, and radiology. The program focuses on clinical research and clinical trials, computational neuroscience, neural recording to neural imaging, and neural repair and neuromodulation. Trainees spend at least 80% of their time on closely mentored independent research, participate in educational activities, scientific writing and presentation training, clinical engagement of no more than 20% of their time, lab meetings, proposal development, and one advanced engineering or clinical trials methods course per year. Eligible trainees are supported for 2 years and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applicants must identify a T32 mentor, design a project aligned with the program, and submit a current CV, career development statement, proof of degree completion, proposed research project and potential mentors, and 3 letters of recommendation. Start dates are negotiated with the Program Director and primary mentor.
