Undergraduate Research Assistant

June - August 2019 • Stanford, CA

What I liked

I enjoyed the challenge and open ended nature of this position.

What I wish was different

I could have used a bit more guidance at the start - more deadlines and concrete tasks to achieve.

Advice

You really get out of this what you put into it - if you want to be satisfied with your experience, you're gonna need to put a lot of time and work into your project. Communication with your mentor is key!

Research Assistant

June 2019 • Stanford, CA

What I liked

I had a lot of autonomy over our project, and we are trying to publish the results!

What I wish was different

Guidance on research earlier on would have been helpful.

Advice

Talk to undergrads who worked with the mentor before and ask about their experience to see if the fit would be good.
