Outreach and Education

The Center for Human Brain Variation is committed to assembling a project team with diverse perspectives, while fostering an inclusive environment where all team members flourish. This is essential for a project in which the analysis of biological variation and diversity is a central theme. Our Center aims to reach a wide community of scientists in a variety of different ways including:

• Provide elementary through undergraduate level students from surrounding communities with resources (such as mentoring, lab tours, educational materials) to get them excited about science and pursue careers in scientific research.
• Create opportunities for researchers to join our team at many different career stages, from undergraduate students to mid-career scientists. In building our team, we aim to address the under-representation of groups in biomedical research in general, and at our institution in particular. Please see our jobs and undergraduate co-op program pages for more information about open positions.
• Host a quarterly seminar series, held in a hybrid format to increase accessibility, with presentations from speakers at a variety of career stages with diverse backgrounds and expertise.
