Today’s the day to get in your application to be a research assistant! If you haven’t yet, hurry and apply! You can assist a professor next semester for credit and get some experience researching something very cool. Deadline’s by 5pm, so hurry!
Here’s the research asssistantship breakdown:
- Professors do more than teach. They also do research and write books.
- They need help. That help is called a research assistant.
- Research assistants do lots of things ranging from data entry to performing tests to conducting interviews to cloning genes to more. It all depends on the project and the professor.
- In return, research assistants get academic credit. They also can be listed in the acknowledgments section of the final product. Sometimes they’re even published as co-author.
So, you think it would be pretty cool to be a co-author of a major study before you even graduate college. But how?
Luckily for you UHPers, professors want students just like you to be their research assistants. Just check out our listing of available Research Assistantships for UHPers and apply for the one(s) you’re interested in by October 26th, 2012. We’re hoping to have you hear back in time for registration, so you know what to plan for.
Then, have an amazingly awesome academic experience and impress your friends, family, admissions boards, and employers with your achievement!
