For Students

• Students are expected to commit at least 1 year of volunteering.
• We also ask for a minimum of 8 hours a week.

We are looking for students with a strong aptitude for learning scientific concepts and technical computational skills for brain MRI analysis. Students interested in understanding how rare diseases affect the brain’s structure, and how neuroanatomical findings can be correlated with neuropsychological outcomes are especially desirable. Prospective research assistants will learn how to use softwares such as Freesurfer and ITK-SNAP for volumetric analysis of brains. Additionally, RAs will also help out with MRI scanning of infants for an ongoing congenital CMV study. Students will begin by monitoring infants with the possibility of learning how to operate MRI. This research opportunity may be used for PSY4993 research credit. Participation in our lab is an excellent experience for those interested in pursuing a career in research and the health profession. Individuals with a science GPA of 3.0 or better are strongly encouraged to apply. If you are interested in this opportunity, please send an email to [email protected] with the following information:

• A brief explanation of the reason for your interest and your background in a 1/2-1 page cover letter
• 1 page CV/Resume
• A list of the courses in the fields of anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, or other related coursework
• If you have extenuating circumstances that have caused your science GPA to be lower than a 3.0, please attach a letter of explanation.
