The aim of the Forum Board is to connect students seeking research opportunities and labs seeking research assistants. If you are a student, post your information under the “Students Looking for Research Opportunities” topic. If you are an investigator looking for a research assistant, post under “Labs Looking for Research Assistants”. We’ve also added a new space—“Beyond the Lab: Jobs, Internships & Volunteer Opportunities”—for posting and exploring opportunities outside of traditional lab settings. For directions on how to use and post on the Forum Board, click here
Hello!
My name is Bradley Susskind, and I’m a first-year medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. I’m writing to express my interest in getting involved with research through the Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC).
I have a strong and growing interest in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine, particularly research focused on the clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial dimensions of substance use disorders and related mental health outcomes. Prior to medical school, I worked in clinical research at NYU Langone for three years, where I gained experience supporting ongoing studies and collaborating with multidisciplinary research teams.
I’m open to different types of projects and roles and would be excited to contribute in any capacity that’s helpful. As an MS1 currently in the organ systems curriculum, I’m mindful of balancing academics, but I’m very motivated to stay engaged and am looking for opportunities that offer some flexibility.
If any faculty or research groups within RARC are looking for medical student involvement, or if there are projects where my background might be a good fit, I would love to connect (bs949@njms.rutgers.edu) and learn more. Thank you for your time!!
