Research Apprenticeship Program
The Research Apprenticeship Program is a 2-year program that provides an early opportunity for students to develop their interests in formal research through faculty mentorship. This is supported by an action-oriented programmatic model encompassing the research experience from beginning to end. This experience is meant to stimulate minds, broaden perspectives, and strengthen connections in the University and global community. Learn more about the program on the CFANS website.
Johnson Research Internship
The Theodora and Arnold Johnson Undergraduate Research Program is designed to provide students with an internship opportunity to work with a faculty member on a research topic pertaining to sustainable agriculture such as agricultural production, the environment, food science and nutrition, social impacts of farming systems, or economics of agriculture. Students must be full-time CFANS students in good academic standing. See the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture website for more information.
Work in a Lab
If you're looking for a flexible, on-campus job, many professors hire students to help with research projects or to work in their labs. Wages are competitive. These positions allow you to work closely with graduate students and professors. Some lab jobs are posted on the U of M's Student Employment site or on GoldPASS. Other times professors will tell their students about lab positions during class, or notice will only be given through email. Feel free to ask around to see if anything might be coming up.
