Organizations listed below that have already updated their sites for 2010, or offer opportunities on an annual basis will be indicated by a (2010) after the co-op link. You are welcome to look at the 2009 details still listed for organizations that have not updated yet. Check back frequently for 2010 updates that will be posted as they become available.

This website has selected co-ops/internships from the larger Biology & Biotechnology Co-op Opportunities on the Web website that specifically offer experiences in Neuroscience or a related field.

In addition to the valuable experience and good pay that a Co-op or Internship will give you, very many of the Opportunities listed on this website also provide Travel Reimbursement, Housing and Meals. So, don't let concerns about living expenses or the location of an organization posted on this website prevent you from checking out an exciting and challenging Co-op or Internship position!! If travel support, housing and meals are provided, this information will almost always be included in the details about the Co-op or Internship that can be found by clicking on the co-op website next to the organization's name and location.

To view information for any organization listed below:
a. Point and click with your mouse on the organization's name to go to its homepage (for a university or college, you might want to go further to the homepage of the sponsoring department or program at that university or college, if it is not already the "homepage" link that is provided here).
b. Point and click with your mouse on co-op to go to co-op/internship/research postings for that organization or to the website from which you can then access the co-op/internship/research postings
