Neuroscience Research Metcalf Internship

Opportunity Description:

Neuroscience Research Metcalf Internships provide opportunities for students to conduct independent research during the summer. This opportunity is designed to allow first, second, and third year UChicago students majoring in Neuroscience the opportunity to try out research in a neuroscience laboratory. It is only through directly experiencing the joys and tribulations of the research process that students can discover their own affinity for and interest in laboratory work.

Students must work with a UChicago faculty member (= Principal Investigator or PI) to develop a project that is both important and feasible within the confines of this 10-week program. Once accepted, student interns are expected to work full-time in a Neuroscience laboratory on campus, toward completion of their proposed project. Interns must also participate in weekly meetings with Professors Peggy Mason, the Neuroscience Major Director, and Elizabeth Grove, the Neuroscience Honors Director.

The 10-week program occurs during the summer quarter. Students may not register for any courses during this 10-week summer Fellowship. Students will receive a $4,000 stipend.
