[visionlist] Graduate Program in Vision Science at UC Berkeley

[Susana Chung]

Graduate program in Vision Science at University of California, Berkeley is now accepting applications for Fall 2018.

This fully funded PhD program <http://vision.berkeley.edu/> emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of vision science research through broad exposure to the basic concepts and techniques used in specialized fields. Engaged in both laboratory-based and clinical research, our students <http://vision.berkeley.edu/?page_id=37> are working with faculty <http://vision.berkeley.edu/?cat=2> advisers whose research matches their own interests. Current research topics include Biomedical Optics, Perception and Visual Cognition, Molecular and Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Computational Vision, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology and Clinical Science.

Vision Science alumni <http://vision.berkeley.edu/?page_id=2019> are represented on the faculty of world-class universities - in medical schools, schools of optometry, and a wide range of other disciplines spanning psychology, physiology, bioengineering, and ophthalmology. Many others hold research positions in private institutes and federally sponsored agencies, including NASA and the NIH. Still others are to be found in the research and development divisions of industry; currently, ophthalmic and biotechnology companies are among the major recruiters of our graduates. 

Requirements: Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program, we accept students with various backgrounds including psychology, optometry, engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, biophysics, neuroscience, mathematics, molecular and cell biology and integrative biology. In addition to their transcripts, applicants need to submit their GRE test results and three letters of recommendation. 

To apply: Submit your online application <https://gradadmit.berkeley.edu/apply/Vision-PhD/f2014/start.html> following the posted guidelines by January 6, 2018. The strongest applicants will be invited for an interview in March. If you have any additional questions about the Vision Science program or the application process, please email vision at berkeley.edu <mailto:vision at berkeley.edu>.
