The Clinical Neurophysiology Research Lab is always looking for undergraduates to help with data acquisition, processing, and analyzing. Students interested in our lab have several different options through UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh.

 

Independent Study – Department of Neuroscience



Undergraduates in the Neuroscience program at the University of Pittsburgh have the opportunity to work in our lab for course credit. We encourage students who may be interested in pursing a career in research to apply for this course. Designed to occur alongside other courses during the school semester, Independent Study will expose students to the design and implementation of EEG research. Students will also attend lab meetings and lectures relevant to the CNRL’s research into the neurophysiology of psychosis. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to present a poster on data they analyzed during their independent study.

Information on the Neuroscience Independent Study course can be found on the University of Pittsburgh Department of Neuroscience website. Students are asked to contact Dr. Dean Salisbury before applying for independent study.

 

Brackenridge Summer Research Fellowship



The University of Pittsburgh offers the Brackenridge Summer Research Fellowship to undergraduates who wish to spend their summer on Pitt’s Oakland campus working with a faculty mentor on a research project. Students awarded the fellowship receive a stipend for the summer to supplement their living expenses while they work full time on their project.

Fellowship awardees will be exposed to EEG data acquisition, experimental paradigm design, and data analysis as well as attend meetings and lectures for both the Brackenridge fellowship and the CNRL. Students will also be expected to present their project during one of the weekly half-day Brakenridge seminars.

Please visit the Brackenridge Summer Research Fellowship website for more information on the opportunity.
