How to become a neuroscientist?

To become a neuroscientist, you need a strong educational background in neuroscience. Most hold a medical degree, but those who do not want to work in a clinical setting may only be required to have a doctorate in a related science. Additional qualifications include extensive laboratory experience, strong research and analytical skills, and a familiarity with common neurological disorders. Most aspiring neuroscientists gain this knowledge and experience through a postdoctoral fellowship. For many research positions, you need dedicated education and experience in a specialized field such as cognitive neuroscience.
