Student and Faculty Research
Neuroscience students have a variety of research opportunities available to them.
Student Research Common Application:
Are you interesting in doing research with a Neuroscience professor? If your answer is yes, please fill out this google questionnaire. Gathered information is reviewed by faculty and if a spot opens in their lab, and you seem like a good fit they will email you.
Students may choose to volunteer in faculty research labs, work as a paid research assistant, work as a summer research assistant, or enroll in independent research with a willing faculty mentor. Students enrolling in independent research before their senior year enroll in NSCI 0500. Seniors enroll in NSCI 0700, and seniors who successfully complete at least one term of NSCI 0700 may be able to pursue a final term of senior thesis research (NSCI 0701) described below.
Senior neuroscience students may pursue an honors thesis, a 2-3 semester independent research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Many student-faculty research collaborations culminate in a journal publication, a conference presentation, or a presentation during the Spring Student Symposium.
