Post a Research Position
Research opportunities can significantly enhance the student experience as many students at Columbia Engineering are destined for the professional research environment, while others may work in professional capacities in tandem with the research function.
Students can engage in research during the academic year or during the summer. Typically students will work in a lab for 5-10 hours a week during the academic year and full-time during the summer for 8-12 weeks. Compensation can either be an hourly rate or academic credit.
