The Sagol School of Neuroscience opens the registration for the
Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Neuroscience (IDPN). This interdisciplinary
program brings together 120 scientists from the Faculty of Life Sciences, School of
Psychological Science, Faculty of Medicine and its 17 affiliated Medical Centers,
Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Exact Sciences, Faculty of Management and
Faculty of Humanities. The students can join any of the 120 labs of the Sagol School
(http://neuroscience-web.tau.ac.il/en/?page_id=379) and are encouraged to create
joint projects combining mentors from complementary disciplines. As Tel Aviv School
is also a partner in the ENC-Network, hence students can perform rotation at Tel Aviv
University (TAU) or joint research with any of the labs in the ENC-Network
laboratories.
Additional information about Tel Aviv University and the PhD program can be found
at the end of this doucoment.

University’s Sagol School of Neuroscience is the place for you.
The Sagol School of Neuroscience
At the forefront of interdisciplinary neuroscience discoveries, TAU is home to Israel’s
largest concentration of internationally renowned scientists and clinicians investigating all
aspects and levels of brain structure, function and dysfunction. Spanning seven faculties,
TAU’s neuroscientists combine fields as diverse as biophysics, psychology, neurobiology,
computer science, neurology and psychiatry and are leading
multidisciplinary research in areas including learning and
memory, neurodegenerative diseases, neuroimaging, behavioral
and cognitive neuroscience, neurological and psychiatric
disorders, brain cancer, and neurolinguistics.
