The Summer Seminars in Neuroscience and Philosophy (SSNAP) is back!

Applications are now open for SSNAP 2027, which will take place at Duke University from May 31 to June 13, 2027. This year’s theme is Neuroscience and Consciousness.

Background: SSNAP brings together graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty from philosophy and neuroscience for two weeks of intensive, interdisciplinary training. The first week provides foundational grounding in each discipline; in the second week, leading speakers take up philosophical and scientific questions at the intersection of Neuroscience and Consciousness. Fellows then form interdisciplinary teams to develop joint research projects, and teams with promising proposals may receive a sub-award of up to $20,000.

Twenty fellowships are available: ten for applicants primarily from philosophy and ten for applicants primarily from neuroscience. Each fellowship covers travel, room and board, and includes a $500 honorarium. Graduate students must have completed their third year of graduate school at the time of submission, no exceptions.

Applications are due by 11:59 pm EST on December 1, 2026.
