<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;"><br /> Applications are to work in joint projects of the research groups led by Profs. Horacio G. Rotstein and Jorge Golowasch to work on project that address the problem of the relationship between intrinsic/network neuronal variability and stability of neuronal activity: How can neuronal activity be stable if the ionic currents that generate this activity are highly variable? (See publication examples below).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;">The successful applicant will be eligible for NSF-funded support. Student applicants should have a strong background in neuroscience, biology or <strong>applied mathematics/physics </strong>and a genuine interest in conducting interdisciplinary research. Training will be provided in the other areas. In addition, students must be able to show English proficiency both written and verbal as required by US universities. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;">The ideal candidate would be highly motivated, technically skilled, a team player and show signs of independent and critical thinking. The PhD program will contribute to the further development of these skills. PhD students have also the opportunity to teach and write grant proposals. Overall, the PhD program is designed to prepare the participating students for a large variety of jobs both academic and in industry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;">Research in Neuroscience at the Rutgers/NJIT campus is thriving, with a well-funded faculty interacting and collaborating on many projects across disciplines. Students have the possibility of attending a wide variety of seminars and colloquia across campus (biology, neuroscience, mathematical biology).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: #1f497d;">The campus is less than 30 min from Manhattan and the many academic and cultural activities the city has to offer. </span></p>
