Description

We are excited to announce a Yale postdoctoral fellowship opportunity from the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience. We encourage applications that cross the boundaries of more than one field to address important questions in neuroscience: for example, outstanding projects that bring together individuals working in different scientific areas, or those that apply technologies developed in other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, computer science, or engineering.
