Research Opportunities

The best way to get started in research is to view the research areas of the faculty and then contact them via email to discuss the possibility of conducting research with them. Some undergraduate research jobs may also be posted on Hireahawk (see below).

If you have questions about undergraduate research, contact Dr. Lori Adams (lori-adams@uiowa.edu) for more information.

Hireahawk

Look for opportunities to work in a laboratory on campus for pay. Job duties typically involve making solutions, stocking laboratory equipment, washing laboratory glassware, etc. Often these opportunities can lead to undergraduate research experiences.
