Undergraduate Opportunities
Research in Individual Neuroscience Laboratories
Many students choose to complete research with our Neuroscience Faculty whose research covers the areas of molecular neurobiology, cellular neuroscience, and systems neuroscience. Areas of specialization include neurodegenerative disease, pain, addiction, depression, and psychiatric disease. View more information about individual research labs.
Options for Working in a Lab: Students can get independent study credit (talk to your academic advisor for options), volunteer, or get paid under some circumstances.
Finding a Lab: To find a research lab the best option is to use our research portal where you can search by research area and find laboratories with current openings.
