Workshops & Infosessions
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is now launching two Ph.D. programs based at our new Janelia Farm Research Campus, in partnership with the Universities of Cambridge and Chicago. These accelerated programs are designed for a small number of well prepared, highly committed, and gifted students.We are focused on two main goals:· The identification of general principles that govern how information is processed by neuronal circuits· The development of imaging technologies and computational methods for image analysisJanelia Farm opened for operations in August 2006 and we have now recruited nineteen lab heads, with twenty more to be recruited. Their interests include functional neurobiology in worms, flies and rodents, the development of new microscope technologies, protein engineering and computational analysis. Janelia is fully internally funded by the HHMI and labs can have no more than six people for each lab head. Thus the scientific activity is designed to be intense and collaborative.Most students spend one year at their chosen partner institution followed by three years of research work at Janelia Farm. Students will have two mentors: one at Janelia Farm and one at the partner university. They will fulfill the academic requirements of the partner university and their Ph.D. theses will be examined there.Are you ready for this challenge?
To bring your talents and skills to join our intense, collaborative and interdisciplinary team that is working to understand the mechanism of the mind.Learn more about us at: http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/Application deadline: December 15, 2006

Ruby on Rails5 is a web framework that is optimized for programmer happiness. (We'll take what we can get.) It allows for the creation of database backed web applications, and it has a fun name to boot!
