6.Volunteer Needed for Prospective Brain Injury Study at VAMC
A research laboratory at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center has an immediate opening for a Psychology or Neuroscience major interested in biopsychology and/or traumatic brain injury research. Dr. Nicholas Davenport's prospective study examines National Guard soldiers prior to and after completing military training to determine if experiences encountered during training (i.e. stress, concussion, etc.) have an effect on thinking and cognition, and if this trajectory can be seen in the structure and function of the brain. The ideal applicant is a junior or senior, has a GPA around 3.5 or higher, and has completed courses in psychopathology (i.e. abnormal psychology), biopsychology or fundamental neuroscience, and statistics. The ideal applicant would also be able to commit about 10 hours per week for a minimum of six months. Responsibilities will depend on the applicant’s interests, as well as the current needs of the study, but will likely begin with data entry and participant recruitment and may expand into cognitive assessments, clinical interviewing, and MRI data collection and processing. This is a volunteer position. Experience on this study can be used to support program research requirements and entry into graduate school. If interested, please send a resume/CV, a description of your current availability and educational/career interests, and a current transcript (unofficial is fine) toalicia.kielbasa@va.gov. Please put “Research Assistant Application” in the subject line of your email.

9.NEW Programs in Thailand!
The Learning Abroad Center is launching 2 new programs in Chiang Mai, Thailand starting this August 2015. There will be an Intensive Thai program and an MSID International Development program. With its fascinating cultural sites and wide array of environmental diversity, Thailand has long been a popular destination for travelers the world over, and it serves as a major hub of industry, agriculture, and tourism. The Learning Abroad Center sponsors several Minnesota Studies in International Development (MSID) programs around the world, but this Fall 2015 will be the first MSID program in Thailand. MSID programs are a great fit for Psychology Students because ‘learning from experience’ is the core of MSID programs. The programs put students in direct contact with the social and economic realities of actual communities and of people working within them to address complex problems. Through classes, field trips, internships and research, MSID strives to establish a continual dialogue linking experience with theory and critical analysis (Learn more about the MSID mission and educational philosophy). In addition to the new MSID program in Thailand, the Learning Abroad Center will also be sponsoring an Intensive Thai program that can be a short (3-week) experience, or combined with the MSIDsemester/academic-year program for an extended experience abroad. Students on the intensive Thai program will develop and strengthen Thai speaking, writing, listening and reading skills while learning about local Thai culture. A one-time discount of $800 is available to students who participate in the Fall 2015 MSID program, and a one-time discount of $400 is available to students who participate in the August 2015 Intensive Thai program, so check them out now! Find dates, deadlines, and syllabi both programs online.
