Summer Integrative Neuroscience Experience (SINE)

The SINE program consists of an intensive program that provides opportunities for talented undergraduate students from across the country to participate in cutting edge neuroscience research. Students will have the opportunity to work in laboratories at the FAU Jupiter campus or the Max Plank Florida Institute for Neuroscience. The on-campus research will focus on the following neuroscience areas: synaptic function, behavioral pharmacology, neurogenetics and systems neuroscience. You will also participate in workshops that provide a broad background in scientific communication, research approaches, and responsible conduct in research.

SINE program highlights include, but are not limited to:

  • This paid, ten-week program focuses on training, mentoring, research and an overall experience for students that prepares them for graduate studies or careers in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) disciplines.
  • Participants will typically work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with one hour for lunch.
  • Undergraduate researchers are paid $600/week along with a $25/week meal allowance, per week.
  • Participants are housed in apartment-style dormitories on FAU’s Jupiter Campus, located just three miles from some of the most beautiful beaches of south Florida,
  • Students will have the opportunity to interact and network with other FAU REU programs.
