Summer Research Intern Position in Psychiatry and Psychoneuroimmunology
Are you looking for an exciting research experience over the summer? Would you like to figure out if or where your passion lies in clinical research? Are you a conscientious individual who can dedicate at least three days per week (Monday to Friday) between June and August? If you answered yes to all of these questions, we might have the ideal opportunity for you. Dr. Aoife O’Donovan at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center (SFVAMC) is seeking applicants for a summer research intern position in the THRIVE Lab. The goal of THRIVE Lab is to uncover how traumatic psychological stress increases risk for physical and mental health problems. The successful applicant will be working closely with psychologists, medical doctors, graduate students, medical students and other trainees in a dynamic and friendly environment. They will assist with running participants on a variety of projects investigating the effects of traumatic psychological stress on mental and physical health. Our new project, which is focused on uncovering how inflammation might affect the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging and experimental methods, will give interns the opportunity to learn about sophisticated brain imaging and psychophysiological protocols. The scope of responsibilities may also include helping with the development of the study, managing computerized psychological tasks, literature review, data management and analysis, and manuscript preparation. Past research experience is not required, but applicants must have a strong willingness to learn research methods and a passion for science and health. This is an ideal position for someone interested in learning more about clinical research, and may turn into a longer-term position for the right individual. We are looking for students with a high GPA, who can make at least a three month commitment between June-August, and who can dedicate at least three full days on location at the SFVAMC per week to the position. Applicants must be willing and able to travel to the SFVAMC. Individuals majoring in psychology, neuroscience, cell biology, immunology, computer science and engineering, as well as post-baccalaureate students and those who have completed a college degree are encouraged to apply. Please send a brief cover letter and résumé (including your GPA and a description of your relevant course work) via email to: Lauren Ross, laboratory manager, ucsfthrive...@gmail.com. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- My name is Victoria and I'm a job recruiter with Apex Life sciences.
