New Biomedical Exploratory Program (BEP) – Pre-MBRS/IMSD Program
The SDSU MBRS-IMSD program is currently accepting applications for freshmen/sophomore students. Five (5) freshmen/sophomore students will be selected to spend the summer working in SDSU faculty mentored laboratories. Students will be exposed to research, interact with faculty, staff scientists, graduate students, and shadow advanced undergraduates. Students will observe research techniques, learn how to do scientific literature searches, and be exposed to hands-one research training. Students will also receive mentoring and advising on how to better prepare for graduate school in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.
For more information on how to apply, email Jessica at jnombrano@mail.sdsu.edu OR stop by GMCS 322C.

Mentor a Freshmen/Sophomore Student interested in Biomedical or Behavioral Science!
The SDSU MBRS-IMSD Program will implement a new freshmen/sophomore program called the Biomedical Exploratory Program (BEP).
BEP scholars will be a part of the MBRS program, and will gain hand-on experience in a biomedical/behavioral science laboratory.
BEP scholars will be matched with junior/senior MBRS-IMSD Scholars OR any junior/senior undergraduate OR graduate student who conducts research at SDSU. Interested in mentoring an incoming BEP scholar? Please call 619-594-3744 or email Jessica at jnombrano@mail.sdsu.edu
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
Undergraduate Research Opportunity in Clinical Psychology
Dr. Nader Amir and Dr. Charles Taylor at the Center for Understanding and Treating Anxiety in the SDSU Department of Psychology are currently seeking undergraduates to volunteer as research assistants.
Undergraduates will be involved in various aspects of the research process including participant recruitment, development of studies, scheduling and running participants. Students will assist with projects examining novel computer-based interventions designed to reduce anxiety and increase positive emotions across a range of anxiety-related conditions. Ideal candidates: Can commit at least 15 hours/week and are available for at least 2 semesters. If interested, please email: SDSU.CUTA@gmail.com with resume or CV (if available). For more information please visit: http://nas.psy.sdsu.edu
Research Opportunity for Psychology Student
The Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research (CHEAR) is looking for a junior or senior undergraduate student interested in psychology and obesity. The student will assist in a research project on problem solving skills, parent-child interaction and parenting style in overweight children and their parents who are enrolled in a behavioral weight loss treatment program. The project consists of analyzing video tapes of parents and children performing a problem solving task. The student will learn how to code the videos using a coding schema and will perform the bulk of the coding. Coding would begin this summer and continue through early spring 2014 with a time commitment of 20-30 hours per week over the summer and about 10-20 hours per week during the academic year. CHEAR is a very active and productive obesity research center. In addition to learning qualitative research skills, the student would be exposed to many different aspects of obesity research and would have the potential for authorship on a research paper. This is an excellent project for a student interested in applying to graduate school. This is a volunteer position.
If you are interested, please send a short cover letter and resume or CV to Dr. Dana Patton-Ku at dpatton@ucsd.edu.
