Atlanta Summer Research Opportunity

The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience would like to announce an exciting undergraduate research program for the summer of 2012 – Behavioral Research Advancements In Neuroscience (BRAIN).

BRAIN 2012 consists of a 10-week neuroscience summer research and education experience.  The program begins with an intensive week-long course in neuroscience followed by a 9-week apprenticeship in an Atlanta-area research laboratory.  Accepted Fellows will be working at Spelman College, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, or Georgia State University. Students will be engaged in various areas of research including but not limited to molecular or cellular level investigations in laboratories, working with small animals, and collecting data from outdoor field sites.  In addition to their laboratory research placements, Fellows participate in weekly professional development workshops and lectures by guest speakers. Students are paid a stipend for the summer and provided housing at Emory University.

The online application is available November 1, 2011. Other application details can be found at:
