The Pre-Health Undergraduate Program (PUP) at UCSF

https://memory.ucsf.edu/jobs Please circulate to anyone you feel may be interested! The UCSF Memory and Aging Center seeks to support the work of an undergraduate student who identifies as a member of a group that is underrepresented in the health sciences. This position would provide an enriching experience in dementia care and research, as well as opportunities for direct interaction with patients and their caregivers.... Primary responsibilities will include data management, collaboration with various research groups within the Memory and Aging Center to coordinate participant recruitment and data collection, conducting literature reviews, and performing administrative tasks as needed. Students will receive hands-on training and mentorship from researchers, but are expected to take initiative on projects and have the ability to work independently as well. We aim to utilize a National Institutes of Health Diversity Supplement, which requires that applicants identify with one (or more) of the groups the NIH considers underrepresented in health-related sciences. (Please refer to Part 2, Section 1 to see if you qualify). Please note that the funding for this position is not yet guaranteed, though we have engaged with NIH program staff in designing the role, and we are committed to working with the prospective candidate to apply for the supplement. Highly motivated college sophomores and juniors who are interested in clinical research and dementia care are encouraged to apply, aiming to begin in the summer of 2019. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with standard productivity software (e.g., Excel, Word, Google Docs) and be able to manage data in an organized and conscientious manner. We are particularly interested in students who are fluent in Spanish, though this is not a strict requirement. Interested candidates should send an up-to-date CV along with a cover letter detailing your interests and pertinent experiences to Madhu Manivannan ([email protected]). Please also feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the position or would like more guidance regarding the process.

It is with immense sadness and a heavy heart that I write on the unexpected passing of a PUP-Emeritus, Shane Colombo. I feel fortunate that I got to spend time with him just a few weeks ago when he joined us on a PUP outing. Please take care of yourselves.
