Students may enter through either the CNS track in<br>\nthe Department of Psychology or the Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive<br>\nScience. The work you do and your status in the lab will not be affected by<br>\nwhich track you choose, but these programs have different training<br>\nrequirements outside of the lab so consider your choice carefully. If you<br>\nare not sure which track to pursue, contact Dr. Solway (asolway[at]umd.edu).<br>\nBecause the lab works in an interdisciplinary field, no candidate will have<br>\nall of the skills necessary to complete the work we do upon joining the<br>\nlab. The goal of graduate school is to learn how to do research and fill in<br>\nthese gaps. Nevertheless, some background is obviously necessary in order<br>\nto succeed. Successful candidates will have experience with some subset of<br>\nthe following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Programming experiments and performing data analysis with R, Python,<br>\nMatlab, and\/or another programming language. Version control, e.g. with<br>\nSubversion, Git, or similar.<\/li><li>Modern cognitive\/experimental and\/or mathematical\/computational<br>\napproaches to psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Some exposure to ideas<br>\nand methods in clinical psychology and psychiatry.<\/li><li>Analyzing fMRI and\/or EEG data with FSL, SPM, AFNI, EEGLAB, and\/or<br>\nanother analysis package.<\/li><li>Basic computer science\/engineering math: calculus, linear algebra,<br>\nprobability theory, frequentist and Bayesian statistics, time-frequency<br>\nanalysis, basic machine learning techniques.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The list above is meant to be fairly general and should not discourage you<br>\nfrom applying, but you should be highly motivated to fill in any gaps in<br>\nknowledge during your time here. Candidates are expected to come from<br>\npsychology, neuroscience, computer science, statistics, or other scientific<br>\nand engineering disciplines. However, your exact undergraduate<br>\nconcentration\/major doesn???t matter contingent on having had exposure to<br>\nsome of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply, follow the instructions for the respective program, either<br>\nthrough the Department of Psychology or the Program in Neuroscience and<br>\nCognitive Science. Be sure that your research statement addresses how your<br>\nresearch interests, experience, and skill set are aligned with the lab???s<br>\nresearch mission, as well as what your long term goals are and how you<br>\nthink being a graduate student in the respective program will help you<br>\nachieve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Maryland, College Park is located five miles from<br>\nWashington, D.C. and is metro accessible, with access to world class<br>\nmuseums, restaurants, and entertainment. We are close to three large<br>\ninternational airports, have access to other destinations on the eastern<br>\nseaboard and beyond via Amtrak, and are a short drive away from beautiful<br>\nlandscapes and mountains in rural Maryland and Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Maryland, College Park, an equal opportunity\/affirmative<br>\naction employer, complies with all applicable federal and state laws and<br>\nregulations regarding nondiscrimination and affirmative action; all<br>\nqualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.
