Announcement:  CUR Registry of Undergraduate Researchers

 

The Council on Undergraduate Research hosts a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers. 

The purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research.  The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geosciences, Health Professions, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. 

 

Any undergraduate may go to www.cur.org/ugreg/ to fill out a simple curriculum vitae form.  There is no charge to the student and records will be made available to bona fide Graduate Schools that contract with CUR for this service.  Organizations or companies seeking the students’ information for other marketing purposes will not be granted access.  Graduate School representatives may contact students to invite applications or

visits to the campus and laboratory, or to share information about their research programs and financial support opportunities.

 

CUR believes that this service will be a great benefit for both students and graduate schools by narrowing the search for the right match.   Be sure to include a statement of your research interests, as this will be important for making the match.  For further information, contact Robin Howard, Senior Director, Membership Services, CUR, robin@cur.org
