Greetings, everyone! I'm Morgan Blakey, a Junior residing in Pasquerilla East Hall. Originally hailing from Carmel, Indiana, I'm pursuing a major in Neuroscience and Behavior, with a minor in Compassionate Care in Medicine.
Moreover, I am deeply involved in various extracurricular activities on campus. These activities include serving as a research assistant in the ASSIST Lab, coordinating events for the Black Student Association, managing social media for the Neuroscience Club, and participating in the Brain Ambassadors program within the NSBH major. When I am not doing these activities you can find me around campus cracking jokes with my friends and watching movies with them.
Beyond my on-campus commitments, I dedicate my time to tutoring elementary school students, assisting them in developing their reading skills. At the same time, this past summer I had the amazing opportunity to do research at Columbia University and research the effects of hypertension and high blood pressure white matter hyperintensities in Black and Latinx adults.
One of the highlights of my involvement in the Neuroscience and Behavior Major is being a part of Brain Ambassadors. This role allows me to promote neuroscience education into the Michiana community through engaging events. One upcoming event that I'm particularly excited about is the Brain Awareness Fair. This event aims to promote STEM disciplines, particularly neuroscience, and offers attendees the opportunity to delve into various aspects of the brain and learn more about neuroscience. The fair is free to attend and welcomes both ND students and members of the Michiana community. This event is taking place on Saturday, April 6th from 11:00am-2pm. I hope to see everybody there!

PT/FT Employment Gig Shifts |
FT/PT & PRN shifts Information Here
This unique opportunity includes FT/PT (for graduating seniors potentially) and PRN shifts available. Beacon has purposefully created what they call "GIG shift PRN, which means these PRN folks can pickup any type of shift they want, kind of when they want. For example they can pickup hours in as small or large chunks is they want ( 4,6,8,12 hour shifts). They are not locked into a set schedule, but instead can look for open shifts and pickup when they want to work (think Doordash for mental health techs) The only strict hours are during their orientation period which is much more difficult to move around. "To apply, scan the QR code on the flier attached to "Information Here."

Summer Research Assistants |
Open until filled Summer Research jrobicha@nd.edu
The Mosquito Vector Surveillance Project in the Department of Biological Sciences at Notre Dame is recruiting 1-2 undergraduate students to accompany lab members for fieldwork during summer 2024 and beyond. Undergraduate research assistants will join a team working in collaboration with St. Joseph County Department of Health to collect and identify mosquitoes of medical importance (vectors that carry West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis). The collection season begins in early June and extends to mid-October (depending on weather conditions). Beyond the collection season, undergraduate research assistants have an opportunity to learn other skills in computing using historic and collected data. More information about the project can be found here.
Job Description & Responsibilities: Alongside lab members, undergraduate research assistants will help with driving to locations, field experiment setup, collections, mosquito identifications and counts, and data entry and management. Physical labor with field work involves hiking (~1 mile) through the local parks carrying supplies (up to 10 -15 pounds) 3 days a week (depending on weather). Laboratory work will involve time at the microscope sorting, identifying, and counting mosquitoes for abundance data. Research assistants are expected to work independently and in small teams. No previous experience is necessary – but if you have a particular interest in public health or entomology, fantastic. Preference given to rising sophomores/juniors who would be willing to stay on the project for additional years!
Dates: For summer collections, the position will start in late May/early June and continue until mid August (before the semester starts). However, the full collection season continues until October and, if you are able, research credit will be available to continue through fall semester to complete the season.
Contact: If interested, please email Jennifer Robichaud (jrobicha@nd.edu) with a CV/resume and a brief (~1 paragraph) description of why you are interested in the position and what you hope to get out of the experience.
Deadline: All applications received by March 4th will be given full consideration, but the position will remain open until filled. Selected applicants interested in conducting independent research will also be encouraged to apply for a COS-SURF grant by March 10th with the assistance of Prof. Robichaud or Michelle Huang.

Apply by 4/26/24 1-2 year Full Time Positions Information Here
The Academic Associate Program is a one, but preferably a two-year, full-time, paid program in the Northwell Health’s Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, located only 30 minutes from Manhattan. This position is designed for post-undergraduates who are interested in a career in healthcare and want exposure to clinical research, quality improvement, and/or hospital administration. Cohen Children’s Medical Center’s Pediatric Emergency Department is the busiest pediatric ED and the busiest pediatric trauma center in the tristate area.
Academic Associates (AAs) will be integral members of our team in the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, participating in all components of our projects. They will assist faculty with ongoing research projects and work collaboratively with one or more mentors in designing new projects of mutual interest. With the guidance of faculty, AAs will learn to perform chart reviews, administer in-person and online surveys, and analyze primary and secondary data.
Additional responsibilities include:
- Assist in quality and performance improvement projects.
- Coordinate the Division's yearly Pediatric Emergency Medicine Symposium.
- Provide administrative and research support for the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship.
- Draft and edit research study manuscripts, abstracts, and presentations. The Division consistently submits annual presentations to the national meetings of the American Association of Pediatrics, Pediatric Academic Societies and the American College of Emergency Physicians, in addition to various other national, regional and local platforms.
Academic Associates will have the added opportunity to participate in the many modalities of medical education that takes place in the division which includes, Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship conference and various clinical educational simulations as well.

Associates gain exposure to many aspects of academic medicine. They work primarily with physicians but also collaborate with other healthcare professionals including administrators, statisticians, nurses, and physician assistants. As a result, academic associates have a strong network of current and past fellows within the larger New York healthcare community.
Program Dates: Start date for the Academic Associate program is somewhat flexible; however, the latest start date is June 24th, 2024. Priority will be given to applicants prepared to make a 2-year commitment, though alternate schedule arrangements will be considered. Interviews will be conducted over Zoom on a rolling basis, but the official deadline is April 26, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST.
