Interested in research in Statistics and Actuarial Science?
If you are interested in working on a current research project that aligns with your studies or are considering graduate studies, working full-time (35 hours/week) or part-time (10hours/week) with a faculty supervisor during your undergraduate degree is a valuable experience.
Contact a faculty member directly to request consideration to work on their project, or send your current resume and unofficial transcript along with your research interests to Lisa Baxter to distribute to the department on your behalf. Full-time research positions can be coordinated to meet the requirements of a co-op term.
