Undergraduate research mentorships in statistics at Berkeley
The statistics department at Berkeley offers opportunities for undergraduate students to gain research experience through project mentored by PhD students, postdocs, or faculty.
Undergraduate researchers meet with a mentor for one hour every week throughout the term and present their work at a poster session during RRR week. In addition, a faculty sponsor meets with them at least twice during the term.
Participants have the option to receive payment or up to 3 Stat 199 course credits, which count toward graduation but not toward satisfying your major requirements.
Please feel free to contact either Will Fithian with any questions.
Who can apply?
All Berkeley students are welcome to apply, including current enrollment students. Full-time Berkeley students will be given priority in assigning projects, and statistics majors are given highest priority.
