Description
The Herman Lab is looking for a sophomore or junior student to assist in performing behavioral neuroscience experiments in our addiction-focused laboratory. Responsibilities include handling of mice, running drug exposure procedures in mice, analyzing behavioral videos, and assisting other lab members with their experiments (including solution prep, data entry, and other basic laboratory skills.) The position will entail approximately 15 hours of work per week (between 9AM-4PM M-F). Although previous experience with rodents or lab work is a plus, no prior experience is necessary, and the lab will provide all requisite training. The ideal candidate will be responsible, punctual, motivated, and able to make lab time a priority. After a year of commitment to the lab, students may have the option to complete an independent study for course credit in 2025 or an honors thesis when applicable. The Herman Lab is a diverse research team that likes to keep a lively and fun atmosphere at work while producing first-rate science. Interested students should send an email to Sarah Mott (semott@ad.unc.edu) AND to The Herman Lab (thehermanlab@gmail.com) with a brief description of why they would like to work in the Herman Lab, a resume, and their class schedule for Fall 2024.
** Please note this change: submit applications by September 13th at 5pm. Contact Sarah Mott or Mia Keller (mnk48@email.unc.edu) with any questions.
