>> 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. >> >> Students who will receive a bachelor's degree by June 2014 will be >> eligible for the positions. The fellowships will commence in July 2014, >> and they are 2 years in duration. The fellowships were previously >> sponsored by the Yale Child Study Center, and students can find further >> details at: cohenfellowship.org and simonsfellowship.org >> >> 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. >> >> 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. >> >> Simons Fellowships in Computational Neuroscience and Design Engineering >> Marcus Autism Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, & >> Emory University School of Medicine >> Phone: 404-785-9552 >> Fax: 404-785-9485 >> http://www.simonsfellowship.org/
