Research intern position

09/10/2024: Update from the PI

At present, I am mentoring five undergrad research interns for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. Given this, I’m concerned that I wouldn’t be able to provide the high-quality mentorship additional students deserve at this time. Therefore, my lab will not be taking on new research interns until Summer 2025. If you're interested in summer research opportunities, please feel free to reach out to the PI before May 2025.

The Visual Perception & Plasticity Lab led by Dr. Tina Liu at Georgetown University Medical Center, has several openings for Undergraduate Research Intern positions. Our lab studies neuroplasticity in healthy and clinical populations across the lifespan using a combination of psychophysics, eye tracking, 3T fMRI and 7T layer fMRI, brain stimulation (tDCS, tRNS, and/or TMS), computational modeling, online crowdsourcing “big data”, developmental and neuropsychological approaches. 

We are part of the Department of Neurology and Center for Brain Plasticity and Recovery on the gorgeous campus of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The Department of Neurology is proudly affiliated with MedStar Health and is dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge via research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. The Department of Neurology and Center for Brain Plasticity and Recovery participates in the Georgetown Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN), a Ph.D. program within Biomedical Graduate Education at Georgetown University.

To apply, please send your CV/resume, a cover letter describing your relevant research experience and interests, and contact information for three references to the PI, Dr. Tina Liu at tina.liu@georgetown.edu.
