Link to the portal
The current deadline is April 18, 2025
The Research Application Portal is the preferred method for students to express interest in joining faculty research groups. Twice a year, Astronomy faculty post short descriptions of projects available. The descriptions cover desired qualifications, number of positions, support options, and a summary of the science topic and goals. Students rank their top choices and submit a CV, transcript, and one-page narrative of their experience and research skills.
Next call for applications
- Project announcements are made twice/year. Typically the portal opens in week 9 of the semester, with a deadline at the end of week 12. Project announcements will be sent to the emails of Astronomy majors and minors.
- You will be asked to upload a single PDF consisting of a short (less than one page) summary of your research skills and/or motivation to learn research skills in the projects selected. Briefly describe your goals for doing research and your plans for after graduation. Please attach an unofficial transcript to your document and upload the single PDF file.
