CBLL typically recruits one Postdoc, and one or two PhD students every
year. Several NYU Masters students do research projects at CBLL each
semester. A small number of undergraduate students occasionally do
projects under the VIGRE program.
Q: How do I apply to be a PhD student at CBLL?: Every PhD student at CBLL must first be admitted into one of the PhD programs at NYU, typically in Computer Science, Neuroscience, or Applied Mathematics. The application deadline is typically in December for admission the following September. Q: Will I get financial support if I am admitted?: Every NYU PhD student in good academic standing has guaranteed funding for 5 years. Funding typically comes from grants and gifts to CBLL, from fellowships, or from working as a Teaching Assistant (which all PhD students have to do for two semesters). Q: What are the criteria for admission?: admission into the CS PhD program is extremely competitive, and CBLL only takes 1 or 2 new students in a typical year. Typically, candidates must have excellent grades, good letters of recommendations, and have some research experience, preferably with publications in international venues. We generally prefer people a combination of excellent math/physics training, and good software implementation abilities. In other words, if you have won a math or physics olympiad, you are the maintainer of a succesful open source project, and you have done interesting research in machine learning or computer vision, you are high on our list. Because machine learning and computer vision are highly demanding in "continuous math" skills, we strongly encourage applicants with an Engineering, Physics, or Applied Math background, with a solid programming experience. We also encourage applicants with a Computer Science degree, if they have a strong math and physics training.
