<p>I was thinking of doing some research during senior year with a professor (like some people have done) but I do not know how to get into contact with them. What is the proper procedure?</p>

<p>I wish I read this earlier in my high school career… I think I’ll be too busy senior year to do some research (in addition to a bunch of college-credit/AP classes and college apps). Good luck!</p>
<p>Read their articles, email them saying, “Hi, I’m a senior at [insert high school here] who will be graduating in the spring interested in [insert subject here], especially [insert buzzwords here that correspond to what their research interests are]. I came across your article [insert title here] the other day while reading up on the subject, and I was wondering if I can come in to talk to you about it.”</p>
<p>Something along those lines. Face-to-face talks are best for securing research positions. If the professor agrees to a meeting, have a list of questions prepared, because professors love to talk about their research. At the end, ask if zie has any positions available, and if not, if zie could please suggest some other professors who may have things going on. Sometimes (and this is the best-case scenario) professors will just offer you a position without you even asking.</p>
