<p>Can someone help me find research in neuroscience or at least point me in the right direction? I've seen so many neuroscience buildings and was wondering how I can get involved.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Just as a start</p>
<p>Thanks bro</p>
<p>Look at the bulletin boards in the psychology buildings - oftentimes they’re looking for an RA. SRP is not as step-by-step as it’s made out to be. Anyone can sign up after they find someone they want to work with. </p>
<p>After you volunteer and get some experience, someone may refer you to a job if you let them know. Good luck!</p>
<p>Are you a Neuroscience Major? Because if you are I think SRP would be the best idea because it is an option to complete the major. You can either choose to take SRP 99, 199A, and 199B to complete the major or you can take the lab route and take Neuroscience 101L and then another elective, but it all depends on what you want to do</p>
<p>Yea I’m a neuro major but I’m just a freshmen. Is it hard to get into research if you’re just a first year?</p>
<p>You shouldn’t start research til spring quarter because you have to get used to your course load. But if you feel confident, then go here:
[UCLA</a> Neuroscience Program: UCLA Portal](<a href=“http://faculty.neuroscience.ucla.edu/institution/personnel-list/]UCLA”>http://faculty.neuroscience.ucla.edu/institution/personnel-list/)
select the faculty that interest you and email them stating your interest in their research and attach your CV. Tell them you’re willing to commit for the rest of your time at ucla, they like that.
i actually just did this today and got replies within a few hours, but im a junior transfer who just dropped out of another lab…</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Wow thanks. Forgive me for not knowing, but do we stay with a certain professor for more than one quarter?</p>
<p>Yeah of course. You should try to commit for the rest of your UCLA career. You become a part of that lab. The longer you stay, the more work you do, which means you have more of a chance to get published (be included in the author list of one of your lab’s papers). And you would most likely end up doing your senior research neuro 199A and 199B at the lab.</p>
<p>I know some people who have been offered jobs in their lab and stayed until several months after they graduate while they waited for medical school or grad school admission decisions.</p>
<p>That makes sense lol. I just got done emailing like 30-35 professors. I already got like 4 replies saying they dont have positions open at the moment. One of the professors referred me to a two other professors. Hopefully at least one gives me a yes</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight everyone</p>
<p>Ok so two professors told me to come for an interview. How competitive is it at this stage?</p>
<p>Sorry I keep bringing this up lol</p>
