Summer programs for universities?

graduate summer programs in neuroscience/evolutionary biology/cognitive science

• Hello, I am looking for summer research/seminar programs for graduate students in neuroscience, cognitive science, evolutionary biology, or artifical intelligence. I am most interested in: Programs at universities/institutions known for research Programs which award a stipend, or do not require tuition Programs shorter than 2 months, during the summer months Programs with a research component A good example of something I would be interested in is the Santa Fe Institute's "Complexity Summer School" Location is not an issue, either within the United States or outside of the country. Also, being female, I would be eligible for any type of "Women in Science" program. Thank you.

  ANSWER Hello beckin-ga, This was a fun project to try to identify summer programs for you but I was very disappointed to find that most of the summer research seminars and programs are designated for undergraduates. I was able to find some programs in your specified fields at the graduate level, but not nearly as many as there are for undergraduates. I hope that one of them will fit your needs and interests. Wishing you well in your summer learning adventures. czh http://www.ninds.nih.gov/jobs_and_training/summer/#about National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke The Summer Program in the Neurological Sciences offers a unique opportunity for academically talented high-school, undergraduate, graduate, and medical students to receive first-rate training in neuroscience research. http://www.care.ucla.edu/html/ucla_sem.html UCLA Science, Engineering and Mathematics Summer Research Program http://www.ahrq.gov/fund/summerint.htm The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) employs high school, undergraduate, and graduate college students in support staff and entry level professional positions each summer.

Students are given the opportunity to conduct independent research that can be completed during the three months they are at RAND. RAND projects are typically interdisciplinary. Some research projects bring together economists, psychologists, statisticians, and health professionals, for example, whereas others bring together engineers, operations researchers, and students of organizational behavior. http://www.pitt.edu/~biohome/Dept/Frame/graduateee.htm The Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology. In the summer months, the vibrant community of Ecologists and Evolutionary biologists from our university is joined by faulty and students from many other institutions. Scientists conducting research and/or teaching at PLE come from both regional and national universities and colleges. Finally, PLE’s Summer Seminar Series and Summer Courses attract high caliber scientists and students from other institutions, thus providing a large network of intellectual resources for our graduate students. http://medschool.umaryland.edu/OSR/Links.html Office of Student Research Long list of links to summer programs – most of them for undergraduates. http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Student/GRFN/list.phtml?category=SUMMER Graduate Fellowships: Summer Long list of graduate summer programs from all fields of specialty.
