Natural science majors: Apply for fellowship in Sleep and Development Lab

Undergraduate students majoring in a natural science (or similar) are invited to apply to the Mary A. Carskadon (MAC) 2023 Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Summer Research Fellowship in the Sleep and Development Laboratory. 

The apprenticeship runs May 15–Aug. 25. Apprentices are expected to devote the summer entirely to this academic research experience and not have other jobs or take coursework. Every apprentice will receive a $4,000 stipend.

The primary goal of the study is to understand how light can advance the timing of the circadian clock of preschool-age children. Apprentices will carry out multiple facets of data collection including saliva collection, setting up dim light conditions, training subjects, data entry, assisting with light exposure and entertaining subjects. 

Applications will be accepted through Dec. 31, 2022, and interviews will be held on a rolling basis. See the "Opportunities for Undergraduates" section on the lab's webpage for more details and a link to apply.
