Get Involved.
We are building a community where CNRI mentors serve as the foundation.
We welcome graduate and postdoctoral mentors of all backgrounds and research areas! We work with CNRI mentors to find a role (or a combination of roles) that works best for your availability and professional development goals! Reach out to get involved!
We are particularly interested in recruiting first- and second-year PhD students.
Mentorship Opportunities
As a CNRI mentor, you gain teaching, mentoring, and management experience in a supportive, team-based, environment. We take a team-based approach to mentorship: you work with another graduate student (or post-doc) to mentor your students and we all come together once a week to discuss progress, best practices, and address challenges as a group.

Gaining skilled research assistants
We're combining our expertise to create (and continually improve) a standardized methodology for teaching undergraduate students the necessary skills to conduct research in psychology and neuroscience. This creates an opportunity for engaged, well-trained, students to get involved in your research for several years!
