 Looking for students to help you with your research? Today your friends at the UCLA Library and the undergraduate research centers are here to help you easily find qualified undergraduate students for your research projects. The undergraduate research portal, URP for short, is a new tool from the UCLA undergraduate research centers that helps connect students to faculty with available research positions. You can use it to re-staff your projects as students graduate or to fill new positions as they open up. This research does not have to be in a science or engineering lab. It can be any kind of information gathering or data analysis. Research projects in all disciplines are welcome, from the sciences to the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Get started by creating or posting for available research opportunities. You'll need a job description, desired qualifications, position type, start date, for-credit options, and contact information for interested students. It's helpful to come up with a descriptive title that includes the discipline and project topic to catch the eye of browsing students. After publishing, you can wait for students to contact you or actively seek out students you think should apply for your opportunity. There's also a helpful archive button which allows you to hide any older postings from students without having to delete the entire post. This way, as you fill positions for your projects, you can save the posting for later if you would like to hire new students in the future. Or you can browse the student profiles to find a candidate and reach out to them directly. You can sort students by major, graduation year, self-reported GPA, and type of position the student is seeking. You can select students by clicking the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner of their profile card. The portal allows you to directly send your opportunity and a customized message to the students without ever having to leave the page. Looking for help with the next steps? Contact the undergraduate research centers for portal assistance or email the help desk. Good luck with your research.
