Lab Instructional Assistants play a crucial role in lab preparation, lab operation, and in student education and are a major asset to the lab instructor. It is also hoped that lab assistants will solidify their understanding of Neuroscience, hone their lab skills, and gain some experience as an aid to their peers. Lab assistants are paid to work based on the number of hours logged in the teaching lab each week, which includes time spent preparing before and cleaning up after the lab period. Experimental Neuroscience is a combined lecture/lab course that meets 2x per week for 5 hrs and 20 min each week.
