Students have responded enthusiastically, rating these opportunities as their most valuable learning experiences. Many research papers have been co-published with these students as they continue their learning beyond the immediate focus of the class.

That’s one of the great things about these programs, a student who has minimal if any experience, but does have some of their coursework behind them can start right away. There is a wide range of ISRI projects, each with varying requirements. The experience gained on these projects will help you get the most out of your coursework, since you can relate it to the “real-world.” And you get paid.

Please contact me if you have an interest in these positions/opportunities. New projects come available throughout the school year. A resume is best, but a quick e-mail can help get the ball rolling.
