[Nfbnet-members-list] Summer Undergraduate Internship at The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab at Johns Hopkins University

[Blake, Lou Ann]

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab at Johns Hopkins University 
in Baltimore Maryland invites applications for a summer undergraduate 
research internship. The selected intern will have an opportunity to 
get involved in various aspects of the psychology and cognitive 
neuroscience research process, including stimulus design, data 
collection and analysis.

About our lab: The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab investigates 
how experience shapes human cognition and brain function using 
methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), 
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and behavioral measures. As 
part of our research we compare the minds and brains of populations 
with different development experiences, including blind and sighted 
individuals. The lab is specifically interested in the effects of 
experience on higher-order cognitive processes such as language, 
conceptual reasoning, memory, reading and numerical thinking.

How to apply: Interested applicants should email a completed 
application form (attached to this email) along with their resume/CV 
and an unofficial transcript to 
<mailto:plasticity_lab at jhu.edu>plasticity_lab at jhu.edu. Please include 
your name and the words "Summer Internship Application" in the 
subject line. Note that the application must be completed in full to 
receive consideration. The latest deadline for applying is March 
30th, however applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis and 
earlier submission of materials is preferable.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must be full time undergraduate 
students currently enrolled at an undergraduate institution who are 
visually impaired. A strong interest in psychology, cognitive science 
or neuroscience is required. Preference will be given to candidates 
who have prior relevant coursework and/or experience. This is a 
competitive opportunity. Only 1 intern will be accepted into the laboratory.
