Training Opportunities in Neuroscience


Undergraduate Minor/Major in Neuroscience

The Minor in Neuroscience is administered by the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences and is overseen by the Neuroscience Oversight Committee [For 2006-2007: Professors Jeffrey Taube (PBS), chair; David Bucci (PBS); Leslie Henderson (Physiology)].

The Major in Neuroscience's central mission is to encourage students to work closely with sponsoring faculty to learn experimental methods in neuroscience.

Graduate Training - Training toward a Ph.D. with a neuroscience concentration exists through the Neuroscience Track within the Program in Experimental and Molecular Medicine (PEMM)

Postdoctoral Training - A T32 Translational Neuroscience Postdoctoral Training Program from the National Institutes of Health has been awarded to Dartmouth College to provide residents an additional pathway so the trainees may learn necessary skills to engage in basic science research and be better prepared to facilitate research discoveries into future treatments. The two-year program provides one-on-one mentoring and immersion during a critical early part of professional training.

DMS Medical Student Summer Research: The Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth provides student research fellowships for DMS medical students to support stipends for neuroscience-related summer research projects with NCD members.
