Dr. Christine Ann Denny’s laboratory is looking for motivated research assistants to join us! We study rodent models of learning and memory in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, PTSD, MDD, TBI, and other psychiatric and cognitive illnesses. We also investigate mechanisms of resilience against stress-induced psychiatric disease. Projects range from calcium imaging and optogenetics to behavioral assays and immunohistochemstry. Several Barnard pre-medical and Neuroscience students have graduated from positions in the Denny laboratory to medical school, graduate school, and other excellent paths.
We are looking for undergraduate students who can commit to at least 10 hours per week and who are looking for a long term (> 1 year) lab experience. You will be paired with a graduate student or post-doctoral mentor during your time in the lab.
