meltedbrain Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm currently trying for a research position of any kind in the the basic sciences. I am going for my third year and have just started to send out emails yesterday; I am concerned if this decision was made too late into the summer to secure a position in the year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmemario Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Are you looking for a position during the school year? If so, it's definitely not too late as there is no strict deadline. Just keep contacting professors to see if any are willing to take on students. You will start out as a volunteer but can potentially convert this to a paid (i.e NSERC) position in the summer between 3rd and 4th year. You can also look into research/project courses if your university offers any. Some universities also offer work-study part-time placements if you quality for OSAP. Look into this and see if your school offers something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitlunchtimeyet Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Better late than never. Look into work study. A lot of people I know first got into a lab through a work study position, and later became a volunteer/NSERC/summer student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
