EconLab
The EconLab is a new space for undergraduates to engage in part-time research and learn more closely about the tools and questions that are addressed using Economics. It is ideal for students interested in pursuing a career in research. Undergraduate students can participate at the EconLab in two ways:
- Become an EconLab research assistant, and work for a professor at the lab between 10 and 20 hours per week during the quarter. This is like an “internship” on a research team, and it provides you with enough time to fully invest in a project and build your skills.
- Join the general research assistant database to perform tasks in a more sporadic fashion. While this would not allow you to dig as deeply into a project, these opportunities are more flexible.
