BIDMC is an exciting place to conduct research, and there are often students that reach out to Department contacts, individual PIs/Labs, and/or OSEE directly to inquire about opportunities to conduct research.
OSEE has developed a centralized process to manage student requests for research opportunities, and to support PIs/Research Labs interest in hiring the students that reach out for potential opportunities.
The process steps are outlined below. You can also download a document of these steps here
- Student completes Student Requests- BIDMC Research Experiences form, and emails CV to the BIDMC Office of Student Engagement (OSEE)
- OSEE reaches out to PI/Department contact that matches student interest to inquire about availability and/or general interest in speaking with the student candidate.
- If PI has interest in connecting with student candidate, OSEE creates introduction via email.
- PI/Department contact reaches out to OSEE if there is interest in hiring the student candidate for a research opportunity, including the following information:
- Research Student Position
- A brief description of the project that the student will be supporting
- Students' supervisor/mentor (name and title)
- Dates of Experience
- OSEE sends student an official offer letter once agreement form is returned
- Once student returns signed offer letter, OSEE begins onboarding operations with PI/Department contact, following the OSEE Student Requests Onboarding Process Flow
