Getting Started for Research Mentors (Faculty, Staff Researchers, Postdocs)
- View this video for a 2 minute tutorial including creating or claiming your profile, recruiting students (or not), and posting projects.
- Claim or create your profile. Hundreds of researcher profiles have been populated from our previous research database and the colleges’ faculty profiles. Use your NetID and password to log-in, claim, and edit your profile. If you are worried about maintaining another profile, you can just link to your lab website for information about you and your research.
- Connect with students. Flip a toggle switch to let students know that you’re recruiting or open to being contacted about research opportunities. Search student profiles by keyword, level, and major and message with students on the platform – you will be contacted by email whenever a student sends you a message.
- Promote available research opportunities in your lab. Post a project and include specific skills, coursework, majors, etc. that you are looking for in a student. Add a WorkDay link to the project description for paid positions.
