The Council on
Undergraduate Research has initiated a Registry of Undergraduate
Researchers. The
purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between
undergraduates with research experience and a desire to pursue
an advanced degree, and graduate schools seeking high quality
students who are well prepared for research. Currently the Registry is open to students and graduate
schools/employers in the fields of Chemistry,
Biochemistry, Biology, Physics/Astronomy, Mathematics/Computer Science,
Geosciences, Engineering, Psychology, Sociology, Humanities and
Anthropology/Archaeology.
Any
undergraduate may go to www.cur.org/ugreg/
to fill out a simple curriculum vitae form. There is no charge to the student. Student information 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.
An institution-wide annual subscription fee for access to
the entire database is $1,500 and departments can subscribe for
$300 on their own, if they choose.
Graduate
schools may provide a link to their websites, and may provide a
short description of opportunities, such as research fields and
fellowships. It will also
be possible for institutions to place an ad on the database
website if the content is related to the mission of CUR and the
Undergraduate Registry.
We hope that
students who are currently in their JUNIOR OR SENIOR YEAR will
register now. Juniors
will be able to update their listing at the end of the summer
and during their Senior year, to include any summer research
experience or information about Senior Theses and test scores.
We also welcome submissions by students who are
engaged in Masters' Degree programs now but who plan on going on
to a PhD program. Just fill out the information on the form
including the date you intend to enter a PhD program and your
date of completion of your undergraduate degree. Attach a CV
that contains complete information about your MS degree activity
(school, subject, thesis topic (if applicable), advisor).
CUR believes
that this service will be a great benefit for both students and
graduate schools by narrowing the search for the right match. So if you are interested in graduate school, REGISTER
NOW! Be sure to
include a statement of your research interests, as this will be
important for making the match.
