Summer Undergraduate Research Program
If you are an undergraduate student interested in pursuing a career in neuroscience, the Center for Neural Science at NYU provides a 10-week Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) to enable students to acquire hands-on experience working in a neuroscience laboratory under the mentorship of a faculty member.
Applications to SURP are reviewed on a rolling basis from February 15 through March 15 of each academic year.
