Welcome to the Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience
We are a hub for neuroscientists to collaborate with mathematicians, physicists and engineers to find creative solutions to some of the most difficult problems currently facing neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Faculty affiliated with the CTCN represent a variety of scientific disciplines from the Schools of Engineering, Medicine, and Arts & Sciences at Washington University. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in theoretical and computational neuroscience are an integral part of this collaborative, creative ecosystem of scholars. CTCN postdocs receive interdisciplinary mentorship from faculty with complementary expertise. CTCN members meet regularly at our Computational Neuroscience seminars.
Postdoctoral opportunities
The CTCN provides support for postdoctoral fellows, including prestigious fellowships and travel awards. Salary for CTCN Fellows is $7,000 above standard NIH postdoc rates, plus $3,000/year for conference travel.
CNNG Symposium @ WashU
The Computational Neuroscience Next Generation Symposium brings senior graduate students who are using primarily theoretical and computational techniques to study the principles of brain organization and function to St. Louis to present their thesis work and expand their scientific network at WashU.
Leaders in neuroscience
Neuroscience research at WashU spans disciplines, scales and techniques.
Support
The CTCN is funded by the School of Medicine, McKelvey School of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, the Departments of Neuroscience, Neurology and Developmental Biology, and the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology.
