In the natural sciences, once you know the topic and type of research you want to do, start looking for available research opportunities. Attend research seminars and symposia on campus and check the message boards in your department. You can also visit the faculty page of different department websites, where faculty list their research interests and current projects. If applicable, read the papers or journal articles they have published. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the humanities, social sciences, and math, once you have a topic, you will need to find a faculty sponsor. This person will help guide you through your research project, prompting you along the way and making sure you stay on track. One way to find a faculty sponsor is by visiting your department\u2019s website, where faculty list their research interests and their current projects. You may also want to ask professors you have had for class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email the professors with whom you\u2019d like to work. Address them by their honorifics (usually Dr. \u2014-). Introduce yourself (your full name, your major, and your year), politely explain why you are interested in their research, and ask to set up a time to meet at their discretion. Create or update your resume and bring it with you to your meetings. If you are a first-year or sophomore who has never done research before, focus on showing your genuine interest in the research topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If applicable, make sure to tell the professors about your funding or what funding you are applying for. The interview is a good opportunity to figure out if you\u2019ll work well together. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
