The Duke University Undergraduate Neurosciences Program, with support of the National Science Foundation, announces a summer research program for undergraduates to conduct supervised independent research in behavior and neurobiology. The focus of the ten-week program will be a research mentorship with a participating faculty mentor at Duke University studying integrative neurobiology, systems neurobiology, or animal behavior. Students will also participate in a two-day Orientation Conference at the outset of the program and will meet several times each week thereafter for seminars by participating faculty, and for tutorials and workshops covering topics such as experimental design and analysis, science writing and oral presentation, science ethics, career paths in science, and applying to graduate school. At the conclusion of the program, students will report on their work at an Undergraduate Research Conference held jointly with other summer research programs.Contact
