Only those students who are able to commit giving the specified amount of time per week for research should apply as positions are limited.

What kind of time commitment does the research assistant position require?
Research assistants are expected to commit five (5) hours a week for conducting research as well as being available to meet with the CFC’s director for occasional progress meetings.

Will I receive any sort of compensation for serving as a research assistant for the CFC?
At this time the CFC does not provide any sort of stipend or class credit for serving as a research assistant. This position, does however, provide the opportunity to expand one’s knowledge base in a particular area of research, to practice and improve one’s research skills, and to receive one-on-one research guidance from the CFC’s director. Also, there is opportunity to receive exposure of one’s work if the research produced merits posting on the CFC’s website or possibly being published.
