The Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program aims to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science. SURFiN provides funds for paid research internships for undergraduate students living near participating laboratories that are supported by the Simons Foundation. SURFiN undergraduate fellows will gain hands-on in-person research experience during the 2024–2025 academic year with direct mentorship, typically from early-career scientists, such as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
We are invested in supporting the next generation of researchers and recognize that diversity improves scientific innovation and collaboration. Through programs like SURFiN, we aim to expand access to research experiences, support early-career scientists in advancing in their careers, and work to create a more inclusive research training environment. Prior lab experience is not necessary.
Stipend is equivalent to $25/hour for 10 hours a week over 30 weeks (2024-25 academic year).
Internships may be in the following disciplines:
- neuroscience
- computational neuroscience
- systems neuroscience
- cognitive science
- genetics
