Laboratories within the CAM Center offer numerous opportunities each semester and during summer sessions for dedicated undergraduate students who are interested in conducting preclinical or clinical translational research in cognitive aging. Minimum requirements vary across laboratories but typically include a GPA above 3.0 and between 10-12 hours of availability each week. Undergraduates who have trained with CAM Center faculty have gone on to attend prestigious graduate and medical schools, including Mt. Sinai, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Boston University. Interested students should browse the list of faculty and contact: Dr. Jennifer Bizon (bizonj@ufl.edu) for more information

SNIP is a 10-week paid research internship hosted by the UF Department of Neuroscience, and the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute. SNIP trainees engage in research with CAM Center faculty to learn about the latest technologies and methodologies being employed to elucidate brain aging and cognitive changes across the lifespan. The SNIP program aims to support college students from diverse backgrounds who seek to pursue doctoral (Ph.D.) training in neuroscience and prepare for rewarding careers in biomedical research, education and enterprise. Applications are accepted from college students within and from outside of the University of Florida. Students must be currently enrolled at US-based institutions and not already accepted into postgraduate programs. All students interested in a neuroscience research career, and especially women and groups that remain disproportionately under-represented in the sciences, are encouraged to apply.
