The aim of the Forum Board is to connect students seeking research opportunities and labs seeking research assistants. If you are a student, post your information under the “Students Looking for Research Opportunities” topic. If you are an investigator looking for a research assistant, post under “Labs Looking for Research Assistants”. We’ve also added a new space—“Beyond the Lab: Jobs, Internships & Volunteer Opportunities”—for posting and exploring opportunities outside of traditional lab settings. For directions on how to use and post on the Forum Board, click here
We invite faculty to share details about open research opportunities for students.
*Use topic tags to highlight details like levels encourage to apply, research focus, paid/unpaid

Hello! My name is Heather O'Donnell, and I graduated from Rutgers University-New Brunswick with a B.S. in Public Health in May 2023. I have worked as a Research Assistant for the Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and a Research Assistant (RA) for the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research (IFH). In my position as an RA for the IFH, I assisted with a pilot study being conducted in partnership with the Brain Health Institute that focused on addiction treatment and response for patients.

Hi my name is Neha Gardilla and I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelors degree in Cell Biology and Neuroscience. As an aspiring pre-medical student and my previous experience with patient interactions as a medical assistant and EMT, I am very interested in how addiction plays a role in the long term effects and how different treatments such as behavior therapy or meditation can alleviate these effects. I started to gain interest in the field of addiction and psychology through my class of Neurobiology of Pain and Addiction and with seeing addiction first hand play out. I am open to learning and growing into any role needed. I am dedicated to commit at least 2 years to a research assistant role and can work 20 hours/week.
