The deadline for seed grant applications and postdoctoral applications from candidates already at MIT, is September 30, 2013. Postdoctoral fellowship applications from candidates outside MIT will now be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Mission and goals: The mission of the Simons Center for the Social Brain is to understand the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition and behavior, and to translate this knowledge into better diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders. Neural correlates of social cognition and behavior exist in diverse species, and the underlying mechanisms can be studied in both humans and relevant model organisms and systems. We expect that experimental approaches will take advantage of strengths at MIT in genetics and genomics, molecular and cell biology, analyses of neural circuits and systems, cognitive psychology, and engineering. Seed grants: MIT faculty members with an interest in autism research may apply as the PI on a seed research grant. The project must involve a primary PI and a co-PI from different labs: we seek innovative research projects that arc directly relevant to autism and that bridge at least two different MIT labs, or one MIT lab and another at a diffe
