Postbaccalaureate Biology Research Program: Oklahoma State University: ON-RaMP

I am the project coordinator for a new NSF-funded postbaccalaureate biology program (ON-RaMP) at Oklahoma State University. Our participants are paired with research scientists from a variety of different disciplines to study anthropogenic impacts upon biological systems. The program lasts one year, and the end goal is that through mentorship and research experience, we produce a diverse network of future scientists to address many of our country's natural resource needs. The program is open to any individual with a bachelor's degree in biology that has graduated within the last four years. Our participants work full time, are paid a salary ($32,500.00), and are provided funding for insurance ($7,000.00), travel ($2,000.00), and research materials ($10,000.00).

This program could be especially useful for those students who are in-between their undergraduate program and graduate or professional school. I've included a link to our website below.

There are 2 openings for an undergraduate researcher in a Behavioral Neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Psychological Sciences, starting in late January. All opportunities would involve handling rats, animal care and behavioral testing in operant conditioning, and all would involve immunohistochemistry to examine protein levels in the brain.
1) This opportunity would involve experiments investigating the effects of exposure to drugs of abuse on cognitive ability, decision-making, and protein levels in the brain in rats.
2) This opportunity would involve looking at the effects of early-life neurological damage on decision-making and neuronal activity in rats.

Academic credit is available for participation. Please contact Dr. Charles Pickens ([email protected]) with the name of one-two references if you would like to apply.
