• Summer Research Opportunities
• Position Title: Research Assistant (Summer)
  Job Description: A variety of experiences in both basic bench research and translational research are available in the Dept. of Neurology at Children's Hospital Boston. Active laboratories in many basic science areas such as mechanisms of epilpetogenesis, the role of growth factors in various neurologic disorders, the genetic bases of autism,molecular profiles of brain tumors such as medulloblastoma, and the genetic basis of neural control of eye movements are found in the department. Ongoing translational studies such as the role of various pharmacologic agents in limiting tissue damage in stroke, mitigating disease progression in spinal mucular atrophy, dimishing hypoxic brain damage in newborns by cooling protocols, and treatment options in juvenile multiple sclerosis are also well-represented. Finally, health care delivery studies such as access to care for severe neurologic disorders are ongoing in the department.
  Company Description: The Neurology Department at Children's Hospital Boston is the largest pediatric neurology department in the world.With over 35 clinical attending physicians, and an equal number of researchers, opportunities for work in child neurology are unparalleled.  (Boston)

• Summer undergraduate research program - Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience - U. of Ill. at Chicago (posted 1/6/04)
  Summer program for undergraduates interested in research opportunities. The program, sponsored by the Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience (LIN), the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, with major funding from the National Science Foundation, is intended to introduce promising undergraduates to the process of conducting original research in Neurobiology and behavior. This summer's program will begin on Monday, June 7, 2004 and will conclude on Friday, July 30, 2004.  During the first week, students will participate in a mini-course on brain and behavior, and will choose a faculty mentor with whom to conduct research for the remaining seven weeks. Students accepted into the program will be housed on the UIC campus and receive a stipend of $2500 to cover living expenses. The program also pays for transportation to Chicago, up to $300. We are particularly interested in attracting talented minority students who have completed their second and third years of undergraduate work, and those who are truly open to the possibility of research in the brain sciences as a career. An electronic version of the application form, and additional information can be obtained by visiting our web site http://www.uic.edu/las/LIN or by sending an e-mail to the LIN Coordinator, Mary Wais, (mwais@uic.edu)
