GET INVOLVED!

• What are the steps to becoming a volunteer?

• Please fill out the Google Form above with thorough details about your interest. Then, our HR team will review your responses and reach out with an interview invitation. If the interview goes well, we will walk you through onboarding procedures and welcome you to the team!

​

• When can I expect to hear back about the status of my volunteer application to teams such as Brain Resource Creation, Humans of Neuroscience, etc.?

• Starting in 2023, we are implementing a new "cohort" system for application reviews.

• For general volunteer applications received between April 17th and August 5th at 11:59 pm ET, we will be reviewing responses and sending out group interview invitations in mid-August 2023.

• If you would like to be considered for a volunteer position with tentative start date in August 2023, be sure to apply before the August 5th at 11:59 pm ET deadline on the Google Form above!

• We envision that this new system will help foster more team connections as multiple applicants are onboarded to the team in the same timeframe.

• The next application cohort will likely be announced in January 2024 -- stay tuned!

​

• Why is the Campus Brain Ambassador Network application currently closed?

• The Google Form is currently closed as we are restructuring to a year-long cohort system. If you have already submitted an application, stay tuned for more email updates from brainambassadors@simplyneuroscience.org

• Please fill out this form here to be notified when CBAN is accepting applications again: https://tinyurl.com/neuronewsletter

​

• What is the difference between applying to become a general volunteer vs. a Campus Brain Ambassador?

• General volunteer positions are available with teams such as Humans of Neuroscience, The Synapse Podcast, Brain Resource Creation, Presynaptic Project, etc. There is a weekly commitment expected from general volunteers.

• The Campus Brain Ambassador is a similar initiative but the volunteering commitment is more flexible and can pivot to a hybrid modality if desired. Campus Brain Ambassadors are welcome to pitch projects specifically targeting their school and local community, and we're happy to support!​

​

• What is the time commitment to volunteer with Simply Neuroscience?

• It's flexible! Our base expectation is two to three hours a week per each team you are involved with. We expect that volunteers contribute for a minimum of six months.

​

• Does Simply Neuroscience offer memberships?

• We do not offer formal "membership" as all of our resources, opportunities, events, and more are freely available online. However, we welcome all brain enthusiasts to join our informal Simply Neuroscience "family"!

​

• Does volunteering take place virtually or in-person?

• All of our programming and volunteering takes place virtually in accordance with COVID-19 safety guidelines as well as promoting greater accessibility internationally. If you are interested in contributing to hybrid or in-person outreach efforts (especially within your local university or community), check out our Campus Brain Ambassador Network above!

• Simply Neuroscience volunteers have organized meetups in the past to connect with one another in-person! The most recent meet-ups took place in New York City, USA, and Haryana, India.​​
