Behavioral Neuroscience and Animal Behavior mix with Development

We have a couple of openings for interested, committed, reliable undergraduates interested in research experience.  Investigations include studies of how infant mice acquire their social preferences and express their sociality.  We manipulate maternal behavior, neuropeptides, and physiological conditions and study developmental processes and outcomes. 

Initial responsibilities will include breeding mice and encoding videorecordings of social behavior, mother-pup interactions, and contact patterns among littermates.   Testing animals and running experiments to follow.

We’re seeking students who can commit to at least the next two semesters and are available for 10 hours per week.

The memory and perception lab under Prof Richard Shiffrin (MAPLAB - http://maplab.cogs.indiana.edu/), is looking to add one or two undergraduate Research Assitants. The RA would primarily be working on experiments related to visual search and attention. The RA could further design their own experiments and run analysis of data under the supervision of senior students. 

The duties of the RA would involve setting up experiments, pilot testing, attending lab meeting, recruiting subjects and depending on interests experimental design and analysis.

The RA would receive research credits for the hours spent (5 to 10 hours a week) in the lab. It goes without mention, any published work would be duly attributed (read resume highlights).
