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.
