Thank you for your interest in applying to lead and organize the Oregon Youth Neuroscience Conferences!

​

Each year, we organize an annual statewide conference based on a different theme. Our past three themes have been "The Brain and Stress", "The Brain and Aging" and "Neurotechnology." We invite professors from nearby universities to speak on the topic, and arrange engaging workshops. 

​

We are looking for members with an interest in psychology/neuroscience who take initiative and leadership. 

​

Applicants will receive notification of whether they are an interview candidate within a week after applying, followed by an interview soon after. Selected candidates will be contacted by email when final decisions are made and will be invited to the following Youth Council meeting.
