The Simons Foundation is accepting applications from undergraduate students for the 2024 Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN). The SURFiN program aims to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science by providing funds for paid in-person research assistantships during the academic year.
Applications and letters of recommendation are due by noon on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Program:
SURFiN provides funds for paid in-person research assistantships for eligible undergraduate students living near participating SURFiN laboratories in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Fellows receive a commitment of $25 USD/hour for 10 hours a week over 30 weeks from September 2024 through May 2025. Detailed information, including the location of SURFiN laboratories, eligibility criteria and application instructions, is available.
In addition to funding support, the program includes mentorship from an early-career scientist, participation in community and career development meetings and an end-of-year research symposium for fellows to present their work in New York City.
