Hello fellow graduate student researchers,

It is about that time of the quarter to begin thinking about Spring Term courses! This is the perfect opportunity to consider enrolling in a research internship. The blog currently has research internship opportunities posted that are perfect for PhD students looking for research experience within some of our many research units in the College of Education.

Participating in research can give you experience with activities such as qualitative and quantitative data collection, research methodology, assessment development, validity and reliability studies, data analysis and reporting and publication.  Here at Oregon, we have many opportunities to get involved in research and I encourage you to visit the blog and explore your possibilities. You can also contact the faculty Principal Investigators directly to get additional information about projects posted.

If you have any questions, please direct them towards jtuso@uoregon.edu.

Thanks,

Jillian
