Neuroanatomy Instructor Summer 2026
About The Position
Education Unlimited is seeking energetic and experienced neuroanatomy instructors for its fun, activity-based summer programs. The Neuroanatomy course will cover basic neuron cell biology, how neurons work together, and the anatomy and physiology of various brain systems, focusing on the cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, and the visual system. The course is interactive, utilizing videos, images, and hands-on activities such as building models, dissecting sheep brains, and engaging in lab demonstrations. A culminating event will involve students presenting case studies in a Grand Rounds-style format, adopting roles like neurologists, psychiatrists, or neuro-radiologists. Both in-person and online teaching opportunities are available. Online instructors will teach the curriculum, supervise campers online, lead virtual labs (with students receiving supplies by mail), and execute a final showcase.
