The Berlin School of Mind and Brain is an international and interdisciplinary graduate research school. The focus of research at the School is on the interface between the humanities and behavioral sciences with the neurosciences. Main topics of research are: ‘perception, attention, consciousness’, ‘decision-making’, ‘language’, ‘brain plasticity and lifespan ontogeny’, ‘mental disorders and brain dysfunction’, and ‘human sociality and the brain (social cognition)’.

Driven by the idea that the most challenging problems concerning the human mind require the co-operation of numerous disciplines in brain science and the humanities, the Berlin School of Mind and Brain was founded in 2006 as an interdisciplinary graduate institution. Its mission is to train outstanding young scientists in the entire scope of mind and brain research and to sharpen the international profile of the research community in the greater Berlin area.

The Deadline for applications is 30 June 2016.
