The Gallagher Lab is no longer accepting undergraduate applications for credit for Fall 2024
General Inquiries for JHU Enrolled Undergraduates:
The lab accepts applications starting in August for the new academic year. Please submit a letter of interest, resume/CV, transcript and current schedule to Lindsay Collins for consideration. Additionally, please note if you are seeking credit for your research.
Important note for JHU students seeking credit in the lab: 1 credit hour equals 40 hours of work per semester. During a 14-week semester, that equates to nearly 3 hours a week. Therefore 2 credits is 80 hours a semester/6 hours a week, and 3 credits is 120 hours/9 hours a week. Do pay close attention to your independent research requirements (be it in neuroscience or in psychological and brain sciences). We expect that not only will you complete the required amount of hours during the semester, but you are also required to write and submit to Dr. Gallagher’s office a written report per the directions of your major. Since those who sign up under neuroscience are required to get your paper signed by your research supervisor and submitted during your Scientific Communication Exit Session, it is particularly important that you make sure you also formally submit the same paper to Lindsay Collins to ensure grading. All final papers are due on the first day of the exam period.

The Gallagher Lab is not anticipating enrolling additional Graduate Students in 2022.
