If selected for the REU program, students will be matched with a research mentor. During the program participants will be invited to lab meetings and seminars.  In addition, they will have access to libraries, athletic facilities, and University-sponsored events.  At the conclusion of the summer projects, students will produce a summary report and present their findings at an REU Symposium in the Gordon Center for Integrative Science at the University of Chicago.

The deadline for receipt of REU application materials (see attached pdf file) is February 10, 2014.

Hello Friends and Colleauges,

Please forward the email below to undergraduate students interested in summer research experience in Neuroscience.  I also attached a PDF file that you might also post in your institution regarding our summer program.

Thank you, Laura O'Dell

Undergraduate Summer Training Opportunity in Neuroscience of Drug Addiction.  The University of Texas El Paso has an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in an 11-week summer research program (May 19-August 2) in the Neuroscience of Drug Abuse.  The students are paid a stipend, housing, and travel to and from El Paso.  Our program, entitled SMART MIND involves a training experience the research laboratory of one of our Neuroscience Faculty members. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with other faculty in our multidisciplinary Neuroscience research group through weekly seminars and social activities. They will also participate in a series of professional development workshops as part of a larger community of several summer research programs. Details about the program can be found at http://science.utep.edu/smartmind/  Please forward this email to undergraduate students who may be interested in this summer experience.  We are now taking applications via the website listed above.   Students majoring in biosciences, chemistry, psychology and related fields are welcome to apply. We are now not taking applications via the website listed above.  Any questions can be directed to smartmind@utep.edu.
