Master Thesis Position on Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience : Lausanne,
Switzerland
Expires:
July 31, 2011
Brain Mind Institute, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne: job description
Master Thesis Position for a Research Project in collaboration between:
- The Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics (http://lgc.epfl. ch), and
- The Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (http://lnco. epfl.ch)
We are calling for applications from highly motivated individuals to conduct
research at the level of masters or as a paid internship in a collaborative
project between the Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics (Prof. Carmen Sandi) and
the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (Prof. Olaf Blanke), at the Brain Mind
Institute, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL),
Switzerland.
The project involves translational work to expand our observations in rodent
behavior to human paradigms. The project aims at setting up experimental
conditions to assess the establishment of social hierarchies in humans and to
test the impact of social hierarchies on different behavioral tasks. The final
goal will be to complement the developed tasks with imaging and/or virtual
reality approaches.
The candidate should have a good background on either psychology (preferred) or
behavioral neuroscience. Interest in bridging these two fields and previous
experience with social psychology approaches would be an asset.

Education without Borders 2011
The Higher Colleges of Technology is hosting the 6th Biennial Education Without Borders (EWB) International Student Conference from 28-31 March 2011 in the UAE.
The objective of EWB is to create networks across cultures in order to understand, and generate solutions for some of the world’s greatest challenges. This is achieved by engaging the world’s most innovative tertiary education students with leaders in the business, technology, education, and humanitarian sectors in a collaborative forum that culminates in a commitment to action. At HCT we believe the concept that leaders meet and listen to these bright young students should be the norm rather than the reverse.
EWB began in 2001 with 210 students from 47 countries. At EWB in 2009 (website:http://ewb2009. hct.ac.ae ) over 1000 students, from 110 countries and 150 universities, participated. More than 550 student papers passed the initial screening process, from which 36 papers and 7 multimedia papers were selected for presentation at the conference. In addition, 40 students gave poster presentations during the conference.
Building on EWB’s previous successes we believe that by bringing together leaders of business, education, NGOs, government, and technology sectors from six continents, we will create networks and innovations which positively impact communities and individuals around the globe for years to come.
EWB 2011 will give students an opportunity to present their contributions to an international audience. It is also a forum for meeting students from around the globe to discuss issues relating to the future of education and technology, and an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about the fascinating culture of the Arab world.
This is one of the largest student-focused events of its kind in the world and, uniquely, is organized, developed and implemented by a EWB World Student Organizing Committee under the auspices of the Higher Colleges of Technology.
We are pleased to invite you to encourage two or more of your outstanding student leaders to submit papers on the conference themes and attend EWB 2011.
For students selected to present their papers the HCT will cover their airfares, accommodation, and all in-country meals and transport. For students selected to attend the conference but who do not present papers the HCT will pay for accommodation, all in-country meals and transport. They will only have to raise funds for their airfares.
Complete details about the conference, and an application form, can be found on the conference web site at website:www. ewb.ae

Thanksgiving lesson plans and activities for high school students
Sometimes, it is difficult for teachers to incorporate national holidays into their lesson plans. After all, holidays generally become increasing personal, and when a holiday like Thanksgiving is celebrated in a high school classroom, it is difficult to make use of it in an educational manner. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can easily incorporate Thanksgiving into your lesson plans without boring your high school students:
1. Ask your students to write a play or story about Thanksgiving. Ask them to do this, allowing them to write what they know and use the knowledge that they already have about Thanksgiving. Their stories should be fairly short, about two or three pages long. Then, ask for volunteers to read their stories aloud. Compare the different students' stories. How do they differ? How are they similar? Ask your class whether they think it is a result of culture.
2. After you have asked your students to write about Thanksgiving, read to them some verified information about Thanksgiving. For example, you can talk about the actual menu (what it consisted of) that the Pilgrims and Native Americans ate. Or, you can talk about the way Thanksgiving, as a national holiday, was treated through American history. Alternatively, you can talk about Thanksgiving's importance as a cultural holiday.
3. Once you have given your students information about the holiday, they will now create a play that will show what Thanksgiving may have been like. They will have to research the information in groups. They will need to gather the correct names of the tribes and the group of Europeans involved. They will also need to prepare a script.
4. Before Thanksgiving, have one half of the class act out their play in front of the other half of the class. Ask the other half of the class to write down some comments. Then, they will switch roles. How do they think Thanksgiving has changed, as a holiday, throughout American history? Is it still relevant today, and why?
These activities are meant to stimulate your students' minds about Thanksgiving, and about holidays in general. These ideas are meant to be a part of an educational lesson plan that incorporates the real world into the world of education. Hopefully, your students will appreciate what you are trying to teach them by having them engage in these activities. Not only that, but they are learning about a holiday that most of them have celebrated for many years.
