by Reese Michaelson

The MINDS program at MUSC is looking for applicants! The program hopes to accept 2-3 students for immediate placement in labs during this school year and may be able to accommodate a summer-only intern.

The Opportunity: The MINDS hopes to provide students interested in pursuing a PhD or MD/PhD in a neuroscience-related discipline with a paid research opportunity so they do not have to sacrifice working in order to gain the valuable research experience required to get into graduate programs. Last year was the inaugural year of the program and saw two College of Charleston student participate.

Details: The MINDS program will pair students with a faculty mentor to provide research training and we will work with the students to prepare for applying to graduate school – craft a CV, prepare personal statements, and learn the artful craft of science communication, so you can stand out during interviews. They strongly encourage individuals who are historically underrepresented in STEM to apply.
