Mary A. Carskadon [MAC] Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Summer Research Fellowship
The Sleep and Development Laboratory offers opportunities for undergraduate students to gain research experience. The lab environment is academically stimulating yet friendly; thus, students feel comfortable asking questions and making suggestions. As undergraduate students, you are expected to appreciate that this experience is an opportunity. It requires a serious commitment of your time and energy, as well as diligence, careful thought, intellectual curiosity, and creativity. You are also expected to conduct your responsibilities on time and communicate with your supervisor. As part of your experience, you will be mentored, work independently/as a group on projects/tasks, attend regular lab meetings, and participate in didactics. Our lab requires many hands helping to ensure our research is performed to the highest caliber. This means no one is "above" doing basic tasks such as cleaning, taking out trash, or running errands! In the end, you are expected to make significant contributions to the day-to-day and long-term success of the research program. In particular to our lab, you must enjoy interacting with young children and their families. Such work requires multi-tasking, patience, creativity, respect, sensitivity, and the ability to "think on your toes!"
Applications will be open until December 22nd, 2022 and interviews will be held on a rolling basis.
Many thanks for your interest in our research and laboratory. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
