SOURCE and SURES Summer Funding decisions will be made during the first week of April!
*******************************************************************************
There are several ways to find an on-campus research position. In short, faculty want you to contact them about possible openings. They want you to take the initiative to learn what their research areas are, in what projects they are involved, and then for you to connect your interest with their work when you contact them. The typical way of contacting them is via email, but before/after class and during office hours is also appropriate. Below are a few suggestions about how to go about finding a position at Case.
- Occasionally, faculty will post a specific opening on the SOURCE site. However, this is not the usual means.
- Talk to your friends. Many students participate in research on campus every year. They can offer great advice based on their experience about finding a campus research position.
- Attend one of the many SOURCE information sessions. These sessions are offered through the SOURCE office, the Greek houses, residence life, several of the academic student organizations, etc. If your group is interested in co-sponsoring a particular research information session, please contact Sheila Pedigo in the SOURCE office (sheila.pedigo@case.edu).
- Learn what faculty are involved in during classes, and speak with faculty about becoming involved.
- Review the faculty research profiles on the web, and contact faculty who are working in areas where you have interest. Contact several faculty individually about your wanting to work with them. As noted in the “Getting Started” section, it is advisable to offer to volunteer about 6-8 hours per week during a semester to get on board a research team. Often these positions become summer paid positions. Also remember, you can take research for class credit. The links below connect you to faculty research profiles.
- Some departments have undergraduate research coordinators. If someone has been designated, we will identify the individual below.
- Contact Sheila Pedigo in the SOURCE office for an appointment for individual guidance.
