The Visual Media Lab in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication is looking for an undergraduate research assistant for a project involving web scraping and data organization. This position is ideal for students interested in applying their programming skills to real-world research in a collaborative and open science environment.

Students are expected to code/run deep learning algorithms to solve specific problems in biomedical imaging.

Students in this lab will have the opportunity to assist data collection in behavioral, sleep EEG or MRI experiments, organize and maintain databases, and aid in preprocessing of data. They may receive training on EEG and MRI data acquisition, sleep scoring, RedCap, and MRI safety. This is an attractive position for those who are interested in pursuing graduate careers in neuroscience, clinical or cognitive psychology in the future. There is opportunity to conduct honor theses if the student’s research interest aligns with the goals of our lab, and they demonstrate commitment and excellence.

Our research aims to identify the molecular components of integration between organelle stress responses that are in play in obesity and diabetes at the cellular organismic levels.

In this position students can learn new perspectives and consider the ways human rights might apply to their vocational interests, developing a critical proficiency in human rights in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Our work on human rights is done through a holistic approach, incorporating insight from a plurality of disciplines. Students will be able to choose from several options, all of which will enable them to learn and conduct research on human rights.

Join the Iowa Sciences Academy and the UIowa Department of Biology for an engaging session on leveraging generative Al to enhance student research and scientific communication. Meet at 2520D University Capitol Center (UCC) on Friday, September 20th if you're interested--graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines are welcome!

We are looking for motivated students with a strong interest in research as a career, and eager to gain skills in molecular biology, fungal genetics and bioinformatic data analysis. Research projects in the lab span a wide range of topics but are mostly focused on understanding the evolution of stress response regulation in a group of yeast species. This group includes several opportunistic pathogens that based on our preliminary data have rewired their stress response networks.

If you are participating in research, you may be an excellent candidate for the Undergraduate Certificate in Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS). Participating in this program is especially beneficial for students who are considering attending a health professions school or graduate school.

We are looking for undergraduates interested in neuroscience research investigating how the brain influences reward seeking and fear behaviors.
