Undergradaute Research Position in the McKnight Brain Institute

Hi EE Majors,

The field of neuroscience no longer resides within the biology department, but now has boarders that extend into physics, math and engineering. This is due for the explicit need for novel scientific approaches that include advanced analytical approaches, software design, and robotics. Therefore, we are looking for talented, self-motivated, forward-thinking students in the Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and CISE to join our research investigating how the brain, complete with its own wiring and software, is capable of memory, cognition, and adaptation. Responsibilities will include software coding, data collection, organization, and analysis and/or light-robotics for dynamic environmental control (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Experience with Servo and Stepper motors, etc.). We are looking for students with a strong familiarity with C/C++. Soldering skills and other languages (MATLAB, R, Python) are a plus. We use rodent models so a general interest in psychology and animal behavior is encouraged. This position would begin in the Spring and require 10 hours a week (with research credits possible). 

Please send email of your CV and a list of course grades in your major to "kennedy.p.jack@gmail.com" titled "Application for Maurer Brain Research Position".
