Equity and Justice in Neuroscience
The department of neuroscience at UT Dallas recognizes the history of exclusion in our scientific fields and is committed to creating a research and training environment in which every individual in our community feels valued, supported and heard. We strive to ensure that each of our students, faculty and staff, regardless of their background or identity, receives the resources, mentorship and systemic support that will ensure success. We particularly welcome applications from historically underrepresented groups.
