Then again, there are always professors with a little bit of unspent money in their grants who might be willing to support a research assistant for four months. Just not that many of them. | |
| Aug 17, 2011 at 6:55 | comment | added | Artem Kaznatcheev♦ | yeah, the NSERC USRA is a great program, but unfortunately only available to students who are in undergrad. I did the cold-calling too in undergrad to get two research positions. That worked well, but somehow I suspect it to be less effective when you are not an undergraduate student, since it is not as standard. | |
