E.P. Bradley Hospital Sleep Research Laboratory
The E.P. Bradley Hospital Sleep Research Laboratory, led by Dr. Mary Carskadon and affiliated with Brown University in Providence, RI, has opened the Dement Fellowship summer apprenticeship application for 2026. We are seeking undergraduate students or recent graduates with a strong interest in behavioral sciences research and who demonstrate enthusiasm, commitment to, and availability for the full program (described here).
Previous courses or lab work in sleep or circadian rhythms are helpful but not required. Local trainees are offered the opportunity to participate in sleep lab activities beyond the summer by working on the lab’s sleep studies during the school year. Apprentices must reside in or very near Providence for the summer. Due to restrictions on funding/stipend sources, U.S. citizenship is required. We encourage applications from individuals spanning a range of identities and backgrounds, including (but not limited to) members of fellow IDeA states and territories.
