Student research is an invaluable experience for student development. Students have the opportunity to be involved in research through the Biology series, independent research, and/or job opportunities.

When searching for employment during the school year, a general request to individual labs and departments works occasionally, but a more strategic approach is to read through faculty research descriptions on the faculty web page and then send an email directly to the faculty whose research is of interest to you. A good time to do this is about 4-8 weeks before the start of the new semester. Students may find opportunities research the Nutritional Sciences faculty found on our People Page.

Students may also find opportunities listed in the University Student Job Center website or Handshake.
