Finding an Expert
Working with a faculty member on unique projects you both are interested in is an incredibly valuable experience. You will not only develop technical skills in your field, you will also hone many 'soft' skills (e.g. interpersonal communication, time management, collaboration) that will benefit you in many areas of your life for years to come!
Finding a faculty member to work with has often been an informal process where students email faculty with whom they hope to work. The Center for Student Research has streamlined this process by compiling open research opportunities each semester in one location where you can view openings, and apply directly to faculty.
Things to Remember:
- Not all open opportunities are posted here. You may still need to email faculty directly to ask if they are currently accepting undergraduates to help on projects. For guidance on contacting faculty this way, please see the New Researcher Guide
- Not all positions are paid positions. You likely can earn academic credit for your work with faculty by registering for the 9499 Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Couse in your department (with faculty approval).
