<p>Hello students,</p>

<p>I am quite puzzled as to how exactly students apply for Research Assistant position in specific fields. I am very interested in that type of job whether it's in Lab or any area. If you know any links or websites, kindly please let me know. It would mean a lot for me.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Here is a good list of them for next summer (Summer 2016). Most of the ones for Summer '15 have started, not accepting anymore, etc.</p>

<p>Additionally, if you have a nearby university, try e-mailing professors to see if they are interested on taking on any high school interns. </p>

<p>Many undergrads start by emailing professors and asking if they have room to take on an undergrad in their lab. Often, you may start as a volunteer and potentially work your way to a paid position, if there is funding available.</p>

<p>You can also see if your school has research programs that pair you with a mentor and let you do a research project. You can often do research for credit, but some programs have stipends.</p>

<p>If your school has any sort of on campus job postings, you can see if professors have posted for lab assistants. They often start by doing grunt work but it can get your foot in the door and give you a chance to get involved in a research project. You can also look at local labs to see if they have any lab or research assistant positions. If this is your first research experience, you may have to look widely or settle for something a little more menial or unpaid in order to get some experience. If you already have research experience, it should be easier.</p>

<p>If your school doesn’t have any labs you’re interested in, you can look for summer programs at other universities.</p>

<p>Honestly, looking at your school or things that are local to you is the easiest way to start. See if your school has any information on research opportunities, or they may have links to other websites that can help you (either through your department or possibly the career services center).</p>

<p>It’s okay. & @baktrax I’d like to thank you for taking the time to response thoroughly. I will certainly ask former professors as well as campus postings locally. :)</p>
