The interdisciplinary and collaborative structure of the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Virginia is designed to offer a unique graduate school experience.  Students wishing to pursue a Doctorate of Philosophy in Neuroscience can expect to interact with faculty and students from many different departments and research areas.  Research specialties include but are not limited to Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical Neuroscience, Developmental Neuroscience, Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience and Neurophysiology.  Represented in these research areas are sixteen departments and seventy faculty.  The faculty of the Neuroscience Graduate Program have primary appointments in School of Medicine basic science departments such as Pharmacology and Cell Biology, clinical departments such as Anesthesiology and Neurology, and the College of Arts and Sciences such as Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology.  This broad range of faculty allows for cross-disciplinary training in a variety of basic and translational neuroscience research. A unique feature of the Neuroscience Graduate Program is the active role our students play in the workings of the program, with student representation on committees for recruiting, education, seminars and even selection of the program director.  Students in the Neuroscience Graduate Program are involved in active research programs, journals clubs, outreach programs (Brain Awareness Week) and seminars.  Our students attend and present their research at national scientific conferences.  Our graduates have successful careers in a variety of disciplines including academics, teaching, research foundations, industry and scientific editing.
