Graduate Students Positions Available in Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory and Aging at McGill University, Canada.

Starting date: September 2013

Duration: Funding is available for a 2yr Masters’s candidate in the cognitive neuroscience of aging laboratory of Dr. M. N. Rajah, for January 2009 admission via the The Graduate Program in Neurological Sciences at McGill University. Transition to the PhD program will depend on the students’ Master’s training progress and available funding.

Graduate Project Description: The successful candidates will work with Dr. Rajah and current lab members on fMRI projects examining prefrontal and hippocampal contributions to episodic memory in young, middle aged and older adults. Accepted students must remain in good academic standing and meet the course work requirement for the Graduate Program in Neurosciences or Psychology at McGill University.

Requirements: B.Sc./B.A. with major in Psychology, or Neuroscience, or Biology with strong GPA. Must have basic neuroanatomical knowledge and have a keen interest in cognitive neuroscience of memory. Laboratory experience would be an asset. Having conducted an undergraduate honours thesis/independent research project is an asset.
