PhD

Our Center does not itself constitute a PhD-granting program. Rather, you can do your PhD research in our Center while enrolled in, and otherwise meeting the requirements of, any Columbia PhD-granting program. We are most closely associated with the Neurobiology and Behavior program and are very involved in admissions decisions for that program and to a lesser extent for the MD-PhD program and the Integrated PhD Program at the medical school. Liam Paninski and John Cunningham are also in the Statistics program and can play a role in the admissions process for that department. There are many other relevant programs from which Theory Center students may come, but again, we do not play any direct role in these programs or their admissions. These include the other Medical School PhD programs and the Applied Physics and Mathematics, Bioengineering (see also Paul Sajda's homepage), Biology, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering (see also Aurel Lazar's homepage), and Physics.
