Volunteer Intern Position at Boston University School of Medicine


Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE)

The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE) at BU School of Medicine is conducting nationally renowned, state-of-the-art research examining current and former professional and amateur athletes who are at risk for developing the neurodegenerative disease called chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). This disease is caused by repetitive brain trauma (including concussions and subconcussive blows) and has been the focus of many of the changes in public awareness and policy. 

The internship offers:
  • Great experience for those hoping to pursue a career in medicine, neuroscience, neuropsychology, and other related fields.
  • Gain exposure to neurodegenerative diseases and neuropsychology.
  • Conduct interviews with future brain donors.
  • Help launch the new NFL study.
The volunteer position is available for an enthusiastic undergraduate, recent college graduate, or graduate student. CSTE is asking for a 1-year commitment of at least 20 hours per week. 

Please send questions and applications (a cover letter and a CV/resume) to: Christine Baugh (cbaugh@bu.edu), or call 617.638.6143.
