THE DOCTORAL PROGRAM
A complete guide to the
Neurosciences Graduate Program can be
found here.
 The Graduate Program in Neurosciences
at the University of California, San
Diego offers an outstanding opportunity
for graduate training in one of the most
highly interactive scientific environments
available in the United States. Recently,
our graduate program was named by the
National Research Council of the National
Academy of Sciences as the top ranking
neuroscience graduate program in the
country.
The faculty who participate in the Graduate
Program in Neurosciences have been brought
together from many campus departments,
the School of Medicine and from a number
of affiliated institutes, including the
Salk Institute, the Scripps Research
Institute, the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, the Burnham Institute,
and the Veterans Administration Medical
Center. There is an enormous breadth
of neuroscience research interests represented
among the faculty, so that students are
able to pursue study in a wide range
of neuroscience areas and they often
carry out their dissertation research
in collaboration with more than one laboratory.
The Graduate Program in Neurosciences
currently includes more than one-hundred
thirty faculty, all of whose research
interests are described on this web site.
There are approximately seventy graduate
students and over sixty postdoctoral
fellows. The common purpose of all the
participants in the Graduate Program
in Neurosciences is to foster and maintain
a community of excellence in study and
research in neuroscience, and to prepare
students to develop creative and innovative
scientific research in order to lead
productive and successful careers.
Students interested in clinically relevant research may want to explore the Med-into-Grad program, which provides clinical training to graduate students.
