Neuromatch Academy – Applications Open

[Bradley Roberts]

Dear colleagues,

Applications are now open for this year’s Neuromatch Academy, and we would be very grateful if you might consider sharing the opportunity with your students and networks. Neuromatch Academy offers two- and three-week courses each July in Computational Neuroscience, Deep Learning, and NeuroAI (see more information below). The courses are delivered as live, global, collaborative virtual programs, where students are matched into small pods of around 16 participants with a dedicated teaching assistant for the duration of the course and also work together on a group research project. Applications close on 15 March.

We are also currently recruiting Teaching Assistants, which may be of particular interest to members of the COSYNE community. Teaching Assistants support small student pods throughout the course and help facilitate discussions, tutorials, and project work. These are fully paid roles and provide an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers and advanced PhD students to gain teaching and mentorship experience within a large international program.

If you have any questions or would like additional information to share with your students, I would be very happy to provide it.

Best wishes,

Bradley
