Departments/Labs that plan to hire research students should keep the following information in mind:
- Research Student Intake Form must be submitted to Chris Richmond, Grants Specialist, at least 3 weeks prior to desired student start date. Please make sure to read the information in the Intake Form closely and reach out to Chris & Ethan Selinger, Program Director for the OSEE, if you have any questions about this information.
- Every research position must be structured around a specific, assigned project(s)
- The position/project should have a clear end date
- There must be a supervisor and mentor available to support the students’ learning throughout the experience- Department/Lab must have the time and resources to provide consistent mentorship and guidance to research students throughout the experience
- Unpaid roles cannot mimic the work of a paid employee/position- if you’re planning to hire an unpaid student, you must confirm that the work they will be doing is of benefit to the students’ learning and not the operations of the Lab
