Students interested in Ph.D. research with faculty in the Department of Neurobiology can choose from two graduate programs in the Neurosciences: Neurobiology, and Computational Neuroscience.

The Online Graduate Programs Application allows students to apply to both graduate programs through the Neurosciences Cluster.

• Neuroscience Graduate Program: The Committee on Neurobiology offers a course of study leading to a Ph.D. in neurobiology. The program is supported by a graduate program training grant and emphasizes neuroanatomical and physiological approaches to the study of neurobiology. Formal requirements for this program are available on the Committee on Neurobiology website.

• Computational Neuroscience Graduate Program: The Committee on Computational Neuroscience offers a course of study leading to a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience. The program is supported by a graduate program training grant and emphasizes theoretical and computational approaches to the study of neuronal function and organization. Formal requirements for this program are available at the Committee on Computational Neuroscience website.

The University of Chicago welcomes applications from minority students who are members of groups underrepresented in science.  For information on the BSD efforts to recruit and retain minority students, please see the webpage, Opportunities for Minority Graduate Students in the Biological Sciences.
