Also, feel free to inquire with them directly by email or by going to office hours. You can also reach out to the MURAs about the best way to approach specific faculty members. Another way to find opportunities is by taking a graduate semester with the faculty member that interests you. Undergraduates can be paid as research assistants RAs from research grants managed by individual faculty members.

Alternatively, undergraduates can earn academic credit for research work by enrolling in individual or group independent study projects.

For further information, see the links below. Because of the deadlines for applying to the UTRA program, you will need to have most of the details resolved well in advance. Usually, that means that you need to have interacted with the prospective faculty supervisor for the project several times, and written and revised a concrete proposal for the project you'll work on. You should expect to spend at least 2 weeks on a successful proposal.

Also, check out the annual research symposium for the chance at prizes and to meet industry sponsors. Undergraduate Research Brown CS regularly hires undergraduate students to work in areas of active research. Finding A Professor The first step to finding a research project is identifying a faculty member whose research interests align with your interests. HUB CC Building a Research Community is a cocurricular experience is designed to complement and enrich a student's UROP research experience by providing opportunities to foster interdisciplinary discourse with other researchers about the ethical, moral, cultural, and political effects of research on society.

Students critically analyze and reflect upon their own research and consider what is means to be a contributing member of a research community. To be eligible, students must have participated in the summer UROP program. UROP has allowed me to delve into research that extends beyond domestic borders and understand how others view the world. Not only have I grown as a researcher, but I have explored ideas surrounding the human connection that will extend beyond my time at Boston University.

Serving as a faculty mentor benefitted me immensely…it gave me new perspective on my research and how to present to a wider, non-specialist audience. I would absolutely encourage any faculty member to participate in UROP. Turning Students into Researchers UROP's mission is to nurture curiosity, to capture imagination, and to cultivate relationships between faculty and students beyond the classroom to shape independent, innovative, and collaborative leaders.
