Sciences Programs at Mizzou. Ph.D. students would be housed in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences and would receive opportunities to conduct research with clinical populations. They would receive an 11-month research assistantship through
a grant focusing on the neural substrates of the impact of hand gesture on second language acquisition, so candidates with interests adjacent to this topic are especially encouraged to apply.</span></p>

by the brain, and neurological diseases and disorders; provide a broad and yet individualized training experience required for our graduates to succeed in future careers in academic research and teaching institutions, industry, and scientific publication;
and facilitate the creative exchange of ideas among MU’s neuroscience community to stimulate new forms of interdisciplinary research and teaching. Virtually all of our INP graduate students are financially supported by their faculty advisor’s research grants,
