Even More Research Opportunities

Rueben Gonzales' lab is looking to recruit an undergraduate student
assistant to start this summer. Our lab is associated with the
Division of Pharmacology/Toxicology, Department of Psychology and
Institute for Neuroscience. The student needs to commit to at least a
full year of training with us and may take a research course for
credit. After a year, a paid position may be offered to continue work.
This particular project is investigating the neurochemical mechanisms
which underlie the rewarding effects of ethanol, specifically the
involvement of the mu opioid receptor. The student will learn skills
in animal care, drug administration, surgical technique, microdialysis
and biochemical assays. Formal lab experience not required but science
background a must.
Any interested student should send CV and short paragraph on why they
are interested in the position to Shannon Zandy at szandy@utexas.edu.
