    Research Assistantships

    Undergraduate students at Bishop’s University may have the opportunity to work as research assistants on research projects led by faculty members.

    Working as a research assistant provides students with a unique opportunity to discover the world of research early on in their academic careers, and is a helpful stepping stone for moving on to graduate studies and applying for graduate scholarships.

    Speak with the faculty members of your program to seek the opportunities!
