Graduate student positions available:  A new NSF Center of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) at Georgia State University focused on dynamic mapping of the brain across the lifespan (D-MAP) is supporting several MS/PhD applications.

Application Deadline: December 2021 and March 2022. 

Specifically applicants will receive a stipend and tuition waiver in addition to having access to a range of mentorship and training opportunities. CREST centers promote the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. D-MAP brings together multiple disciplines in mapping brain development and aging through novel neuroimaging analysis techniques and applications (specific subprojects are focused on dynamics, multimodal data fusion, and predictive neuroscience). 

The positions can be housed in a variety of departments including Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, Psychology, Physics, Philosophy or Neuroscience. 

Interested applicants can find more information at (https://trendscenter.org/crest/), and are encouraged to reach out to the center director Dr. Vince Calhoun for more information ([email protected]). Women and members of underrepresented groups in STEM are particularly encouraged to apply!
