The Brain Lesion and Neuromodulation Laboratory (BLNL) is seeking 1-2 undergraduate research assistants. The BLNL investigates brain mechanisms of behavior and cognition using lesion-deficit mapping and neuromodulation (electrical brain stimulation). The assistants will be asked to help with projects focused on neuropsychological outcomes after neurosurgery among patients with epilepsy, and/or pioneering a new test of working memory for use in various neuropsychological settings (acute stroke, standard outpatient exams, electrical stimulation mapping in patients with epilepsy). Duties may include: assisting with digitizing paper records of neuropsychological testing of patients with focal brain lesions, administering neuropsychological tests, and data entry.

Join a multi-disciplinary research team including clinical neuropsychologists, audiologists and speech and hearing scientists studying the impact of hearing on quality of life in cochlear implant users. In this role, you will learn about clinical neuropsychology, hearing science, smartphone data collection technology, social network analysis and more.

This undergraduate research fellowship offers a student the opportunity to work with University Housing & Dining staff on a project focused on improving food allergy safety in campus dining.

The overall goal of our lab is to understand the interactions between different environmental factors and microbes using a One Health framework, or the shared health of humans, animal and the environment. The specific project the student will be involved with is investigating farmers' risk factor of tick-borne diseases.

We seek highly motivated students interested in developing interdisciplinary laboratory skills, including basic microbiology practices, air and aerosol sampling techniques, and analytical methods. The overall goal of our lab is to understand the interactions between different environmental factors and respiratory pathogens, and to develop engineering controls that mitigate disease transmission.

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated undergraduate students who are interested in immunology and want to investigate intestinal mucosa in two disease models, namely graft-versus-host disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Our research seeks to understand how lipotoxic lipid metabolites ceramides impair nutrient sensing and leads to the development of metabolic diseases. The students will have the opportunity to acquire multiple skills in bioinformatics, molecular, biochemical, and cellular assays as well as mouse handling (if comfortable) and be co-authors on scientific manuscripts.

The Wahls Research lab is interested in the relationship between diet quality and clinical outcomes. Motor function is assessed using timed walk and hand function tests. Vision function, quality of life and blood biomarkers are also assessed. The study Efficacy of Diet on Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis is a five year study, completing in 2027.

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.
