Undergraduate Summer Brain Research Program
IHN offers an annual Undergraduate Summer Brain Research Program. This 10-week summer program provides undergraduate students with an unparalleled opportunity to experience and conduct neuroimaging research first-hand.
Research Assistant Positions
IHN offers many unique post-baccalaureate research assistant opportunities. These full-time, paid research assistant employment positions offer many opportunities to learn the latest neuroscience methods, publish first-author and coauthor manuscripts, and conduct hands-on neuroscience research with human participants. Research Assistants are involved in all aspects of data collection and analysis and require a two-year commitment.
PhD Program
Boys Town National Research Hospital and Creighton University have partnered to offer a doctoral program in Pharmacology and Neuroscience. IHN brings internationally renowned neuroimaging and systems neuroscience expertise to the program, which builds on Creighton’s cutting-edge expertise in molecular and cellular neuroscience. Areas of focus include developmental cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience of aging, clinical cognitive neuroscience, neural bases of psychiatric disorders, as well as motor and sensory neuroscience.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
IHN offers multiple opportunities for postdoctoral research fellowships. Major research-dedicated resources include two state-of-the-art Triux Neo MEG systems, each equipped with 306 ARMOR-type sensors; a 3 Tesla Siemens Prisma MRI system, a 128-channel Optically-Pumped Magnetometer (OPM), a Mock Scanner/MRI Simulator (mock 32-channel Siemens coil identical to that used in the prisma); high-definition transcranial direct-current and alternating-current stimulation (HD-tDCS/tACS) equipment, advanced biomechanical instrumentation, and extensive support staff for neuropsychological testing and participant recruitment.
