Geriatric Psychiatry Department at McLean Hospital is seeking student visitors for three research labs: The Technology and Aging Lab, The Geriatric Psychiatry Research Program, and the Mood and Cognition in the Aging Lab.
This internship is geared towards students who are actively enrolled in an undergraduate programand are interested in gaining clinical and research experience. Student Visitors are primarily responsible for assisting with lab related procedures that include but are not limited to data entry, patient escort, transcription, and literature review compositions.
Internship Lab Placement Options:
The Technology and Aging Lab, directed by Dr. Ipsit Vahia, investigates the applications of technological interventions to enhance clinical care across the lifespan. Current research focuses on the application of electronic media into psychotherapy, wearables to track symptom changes from medication adjustments in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), applications of virtual reality to enhance mindfulness in older adults with mood disorders, AI-based phenotyping for mood disorders and monitoring of medication side effects for patients involved in clinical trials for ADRD/MCI, and augmented reality to supplement activities of daily living (ADLs) for patients with ADRD/MCI.
The Geriatric Psychiatry Research Program, directed by Dr. Ipsit Vahia, addresses cutting edge research questions in the areas of dementia and mood disorders using new neuroimaging techniques, clinicopathological correlations, and other study methods. Current studies include a number of Industry-Sponsored Alzheimer’s Disease clinical drug trials, longitudinal analyses of older adults with depression and bipolar disorder, and Investigator-Initiated clinical trials focused on treatment interventions for behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and neuroimaging studies.
The Mood and Cognition in the Aging Lab, directed by Dr. Sara Weisenbach, investigates how problems such as cognitive dysfunction and depression symptomatology relate to the ability to regulate emotions during late middle and older age. Participants take part in an interview to gather information about medical and psychiatric history, a physical exam and blood draw, cognitive testing, a functional MRI scan, and questionnaires. Some parts of this study can be performed virtually, and we are enrolling patients at Stony Brook University who are unable to attend in-person visits at this time due to the pandemic. The overall aim of this study is to use the knowledge that we gain from this study to develop better interventions for emotion dysregulation and depression in older people. We are enrolling participants with and without a history of depression.

Since 1962, the US English Language Teaching Assistantship Program in Austriahas provided US college and university graduates with a completed bachelor’s degree (by summer 2024 for program year 2024–25), US citizenship (or dual US/x citizenship), and a requiredGerman proficiency level of at least B1/Intermediate Mid by the time of application with valuable opportunities to work as salaried teaching assistants at secondary schools throughout Austria. Roughly 150 US teaching assistants per year not only enhance the instruction of English as native speakers; they are also important resources for first-hand information about the United States and the “American way of life”.
The program will start on 1 October 2024 and run through 31 May 2025(finalists will be notified in spring 2024). The timeline differs from ETA opportunities since this program is separate from the Fulbright grant family – it is an Austrian program managed and financed entirely by the Austrian government, and therefore not a Fulbright program.
The application tool is open from 15 November 2023 to 15 January 2024 but students can start their application now. You can find in-depth information on the program here and a roadmap to the application here. General information on possible school types is listed here and we can also recommend this pageas it provides an overview of the Austrian education system. I’m also happy to help with any questions on schools or placements in general.
Please consider that a teaching assistantship in Austria is not a “traditional” ETA program but a “real-life”job placement at usually one to two (rarely three) Austrian secondary schools for 13 hours per week from October until the end of May. TAs are assigned mentor teachers who guide them and are fully insured and salaried instead of receiving a stipend.
Previous teaching experience is not required but can be beneficial – this includes (but is not limited to) tutoring, summer/language/sports camp counselor duties, YMCA involvement, church group leadership, Boy/Girl Scout leadership roles, previous TA jobs, or any other relevant career opportunities.
You can find more information about the USTA Program, including how to apply, on our website. Students are cordially invited to apply online via the USTA application website and to check frequently if any updates are posted. Contact fellowships@middlebury.edu with questions.
