Qualified sophomores and juniors who are considering pursuing advanced study in neuroscience are invited to apply for the NUIN Summer Research Program. Accepted students will spend approximately ten weeks working in the lab of one of our scientists, and are expected to become engaged in all aspects of that particular lab's work. Start and end dates are flexible, but must occur between the beginning of June and the end of August.
All students are responsible for their own housing, board, and health insurance.
Be sure to discuss your future career plans and the areas of research in which you are most interested. It is helpful if you browse through the list of faculty research on this website and identify people with whom you would be interested in working. In addition to the summer program offered through the Institute for Neuroscience, there are several other opportunities for students. Participants have the opportunity to investigate the mechanisms by which hormones, growth factors, receptors, and viruses control cell fate, oncogenesis, metastasis, and cell growth. Students also attend a weekly seminar series, including topics on the basics of cancer research and career counseling.
