Dear colleagues,

The Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, 
Irvine, expects to admit approximately 15 graduate students for the 
2022-2023 academic year.

If you have students who are interested in graduate school, we'd love to 
meet them! Please forward this email to any student you feel would be a 
good fit for UCI's Ph.D. program in cognitive sciences 
<https://sites.uci.edu/cogsphd/>. Please note that this year's 
application deadline is December 1, 2021.

If we can help answer any questions along the way - either from yourself 
or your students - please don't hesitate to get in touch. On November 22 
at 11am PT, graduate admissions director Prof. Mimi Liljeholm will hold 
virtual open office hours for anyone who has questions about applying to 
UC Irvine's PhD program in Cognitive Sciences (RSVP required

what makes us

UNIQUE

The cognitive sciences department at UCI uses a combination of 
innovative approaches with modern tools to study fundamental human 
abilities including attention, memory, language, decision making, and 
problem solving.

Graduate research specialties include:

  * Computational and mathematical cognitive modeling
  * Cognitive neuroscience (a concentration is offered in this topic)
  * Visual and auditory perception
  * Attention and representation
  * Learning and development
  * Memory and language
  * Judgment and decision making

Students work together with faculty advisors who are highly experienced 
in the use of leading technologies such as EEG, fMRI, and robotics, and 
of modern research tools such as computational methods, big data, and 
Bayesian statistics.

And, students have an opportunity to earn a master's degree in cognitive 
sciences, cognitive neuroscience, or statistics (depending on the 
program) while in pursuit of their Ph.D.

Graduate students from UCI's cognitive sciences program have gone on to 
work in high-tech and research consultancy companies; government, 
science, and technology labs; and in professorial posts around the world.

The UCI campus is located less than 10 miles from Newport Beach, is the 
#1 university doing the most for the American dream (/New York Times 
College Access Inde/x), the #1 university for beach lovers (/Money
