Postdoctoral Positions


Fuat Balci (2021)

Graduate student positions available (Master’s, Ph.D.)


Project description:

Seeking graduate students with a keen interest in the study of the information processing and neural bases of interval timing and error processing in mice.

Requirements:

Four-year Bachelor’s (GPA 3.0 or higher) or Master’s degree in Neuroscience, Biology, Psychology or related fields.


Prior experience: All applicants will be considered. However, applicants with experience in animal research and behavioral neuroscience methods will be prioritized.

Start date:

Program of study begins Fall (September) 2021. However, a start date of Jan 2022 may be considered.

Interested individuals should:

Send a 1-page letter of interest (stating their motivation and any research experience), CV/resume, and the contact information of two references by May 12, 2021 (or until position is filled) to:
Fuat Balci
Associate Professor
University of Manitoba
Departments of Biological Sciences & Computer Science
fuat.balci@umanitoba.ca

After receiving supervisors support, it is anticipated that the applicant will submit an official application to the Graduate School in Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba.

Deadline for Canadian/US applicants is June 1, 2021 (for Fall, 2021). Deadline for international applicants is July 1, 2021 (for Winter, 2022). https://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/admissions/programs/bio_sci.html
