Project Description
How do college students choose their academic majors? Every student has their own story, but our team is working on a systematic literature review of the research on this topic, with the goal of publishing articles that will help colleges promote their programs. You will work alongside Professor Gilbert to catalogue findings from previous research studies. Depending on our progress and your interests, you may also have the opportunity to write up your findings and coauthor one or more academic journal articles (during either the summer or subsequent academic terms). Flexible work hours and locations, with regular team meetings throughout the summer.
Prerequisites
Ideal candidates will be experienced and comfortable with reading academic articles, detail-oriented, and self-motivated with strong time management skills. No prior coursework required; all necessary training will be provided.
