The first session participants will be given an activity tracker that they’ll be expected to wear during the day for about 1-week before they return to complete some cognitive tasks while EEG and ECG are recorded.
You can earn up to $50 when you participate!!
To participate you must be:
- Between 18-35 years old

Keegstra Bioenergy Research Fellowship Program
On behalf of Anne-Sophie Bohrer, Ph.D.
The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) Keegstra Bioenergy Research Fellowship Program in Integrative Bioenergy Sciences was founded in 2019 with the goal to recruit and support talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows to lead projects that cross the traditional bioenergy boundaries of plant feedstocks, biomass deconstruction, microbial conversion, and sustainability and integrate work across two or more GLBRC research teams and possibly other BRCs.
We are pleased to announce new cycle of Keegstra Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (“Keegstra Program”) with new features for research, support, and mentorship to support up to three Fellows.
One application track encourages external eligible candidates to identify at least two GLBRC co-investigators to jointly develop and submit a concept proposal (one page or less) addressing one of the four topic areas of interest: sustainability, feedstock development, deconstruction and separation, and conversion.
Concept proposals should be submitted by June 15.
More details about the Keegstra Program and eligibility can be found on the GLBRC website.
