Rueben Gonzales' lab is looking to recruit an undergraduate student
assistant to start this summer. Our lab is associated with the
Division of Pharmacology/Toxicology, Department of Psychology and
Institute for Neuroscience. The student needs to commit to at least a
full year of training with us and may take a research course for
credit. After a year, a paid position may be offered to continue work.
This particular project is investigating the neurochemical mechanisms
which underlie the rewarding effects of ethanol, specifically the
involvement of the mu opioid receptor. The student will learn skills
in animal care, drug administration, surgical technique, microdialysis
and biochemical assays. Formal lab experience not required but science
background a must.
Any interested student should send CV and short paragraph on why they
are interested in the position to Shannon Zandy at szandy@utexas.edu.
Undergraduate Researcher Database
The Council on Undergraduate Research hosts a Registry of
Undergraduate Researchers. The purpose of this registry is to
facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research
experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate
schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for
research. The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in
the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities,
Biology/Biochemistry, Business, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics,
Education, Engineering, English and Linguistics, Environmental
Studies, Geosciences, Health Professions, History, Journalism and
Communications, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy,
Political Science, Psychology, Social Work and Sociology.
Any undergraduate may go to https://www.cur.org/ugreg/reg1.asp to fill
out a simple curriculum vitae form. There is no charge to the student
or the student's institution and records will be made available to
bona fide Graduate Schools that contract with CUR for this service.
Organizations or companies seeking the students’ information for other
marketing purposes will not be granted access. Graduate School
representatives may contact students to invite applications or visits
to the campus and laboratory, or to share information about their
research programs and financial support opportunities.
We hope that students who are currently in their junior year will
register now, but anyone with undergraduate research experience may
register at any time. You will be able to update your listing as
appropriate, to include any summer research experience or information
about Senior Theses and test scores. We also welcome submissions by
students who are engaged in Masters' Degree programs now but who plan
on going on to a PhD program. Just fill out the information on the
form including the date you intend to enter a PhD program and your
date of completion of your undergraduate degree. Upload a link to
your CV that contains complete information about your MS/MA degree
activity (school, subject, thesis topic (if applicable), and advisor)

Research Opportunities
Here's a taste of what's out there:
1. Cell culture research - Peggy Wang is a graduate student in Dr. Edward Marcotte's lab. Peggy is looking for an undergrad to help with some human cell culture work. She's looking for someone to grow and maintain cells and possibly help with transfections later on. She need a researcher to work ~5-10 hours a week and ramp up to maybe 15 hrs/wk later. She's looking for someone to work with her for at least a year. If you're interested in this opportunity, then please email Peggy.
2. CPRIT Research Fellowship - This is a PAID summer research position. There are MANY slots available and not enough applicants. Go to this site to read up on how to apply & what's involved, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11726111/CPRIT%20Training%20Program%20SURP%20RFA%20-%2004202011.pdf. You'll work for a CPRIT graduate student or faculty member (not me) over the summer & be exposed to a new research experience, while being paid. This is a great opportunity & hope to hear about students applying for this fellowship.
3. Aptamer Research Volunteer - Like I announced last week, please let me know if you plan to work in the lab over the summer. I'd really hope many of you continue your research & pull out some MBP,lysozyme, and/or fibrinogen aptamers!
Best wishes,
Gwen
