Neuroscience SF

[2018applicant]

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone applied to work at a neuroscience SF? Are you studying neuroscience at school? What did you work on at the SF? Are the SMART Scholarship neuro labs particularly competitive? Any and all information is useful. Thanks!

I am a neuro/psych applicant this year. I have been interviewed by 1 SF so far. I do not know much about specific facilities. However, I did crunch numbers last year and this year to determine prospects. In 2016, about 4-5 awards went to behavioral/neural/cognitive students out of about 80 applicants. In 2017, about 3-4 awards were given out of about 40 or so applicants. That is about all I know about it.

Do you know how many neuro applicants applied?

There is no real way of knowing because they lump all the brain sciences together under Cognitve/Neural/Behavioral.
