Current W&L Students What you need to know about the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab

Welcome to the CNL:

Information for Labsters: Guidelines and important tips for working in the lab

Ways to get involved in the lab:

• Directed Individual Research: During the academic year, each student conducts primary research in partnership with a neuroscience faculty member (1, 2, 3, or 4). Students must obtain permission from a faculty member prior to course registration.
• Summer Research Scholars: Enables students to spend the summer doing research full-time with the faculty scientists of their choice.
• Levy Neuroscience Endowment: A grant specifically geared to fund neuroscience research collaboration between a student and faculty member during the summer.

Additional Research Opportunities:

• W&L Student Research: A compilation of other grants and fellowships offered by the university
• Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN): an international organization that is focused on neuroscience education and research at the undergraduate level
• Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): A program which supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation – Students must apply directly to REU sites in their area of interest
• Society for Neuroscience (SFN): An organization that provides opportunities, conferences, and awards in the field of neuroscience
• Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC): A joint project of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, which provides research opportunities for undergraduates
• Stanford Summer Research Program/Amgen Scholars Program (SSRP): A program which offers undergraduates wishing to prepare for and enter Ph.D. programs in the sciences an opportunity to conduct research at the Stanford School of Medicine
• Duke Mechanisms of Behavior: 10-week summer research internship that allows undergraduates to conduct supervised independent research in the field of behavioral neuroscience at Duke University directed by Dr. Warren Meck.
• Internship Opportunities in Neuroscience: A compilation of internships and research opportunities for undergraduates at myriad universities
