These are not paid positions, but students are able to sign up for Independent Study credit. Prior to each semester iSchool students will be emailed research opportunities offered by iSchool/Informatics faculty.

As such, these research opportunities do not allow for volunteers. Students should work with faculty to determine if they will earn credit or be paid for the work they do. We believe that students should receive something of value for any work they do. These opportunities will be either paid or for course credit.
