  • New Cognitive Science NSF graduate program at Indiana University

    Posted on Oct 29, 2009.
    Last updated on Oct 29, 2009.

    Description:

    The Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University invites
    applications from outstanding students for its NSF-funded graduate
    training program in the dynamics of brain-body-environment systems
    in behavior and cognition.

    The goal of the program is to train doctoral students to think
    across traditional levels of analysis in the cognitive, behavioral
    and brain sciences. In order to accomplish this goal, we have
    developed new courses in situated, embodied and dynamical cognitive
    science, a professional development seminar, summer research
    internships, an annual research showcase and a colloquium series
    offering extended opportunities for trainees to interact with
    visiting speakers.

    Benefits for students entering this program include a $30,000 annual
    stipend, full tuition, and coverage of additional fees and health
    insurance.

    Our interdisciplinary training group includes cognitive science
    faculty from the Departments of Psychological and Brain Sciences,
    Physics, and History & Philosophy of Science, as well as from the
    School of Informatics and Computing. In addition, we have strong
    partnerships with top researchers in the fields of dynamical,
    embodied and situated approaches to behavior and cognition, both
    nationally and internationally.

    Contact Information:


    Applications are due January 15. Only U.S. citizens and permanent
    residents are eligible for funding through this training program.
    For more information, contact Dr. Randall Beer at
    rdbeer@indiana.edu or visit http://igert.cogs.indiana.edu

    Our program promotes and values a diverse scientific community.
