Summer Student Researcher information

What is a summer student researcher?

Summer Student Researchers are students, typically at the undergraduate or graduate level, who participate in short-term research projects during the summer months. These positions provide hands-on experience in academic, scientific, or industry research settings, allowing students to develop practical skills, contribute to ongoing projects, and explore potential career paths in research. Summer student researchers often work under the supervision of faculty members or professional researchers and may present their findings at the end of the program.

What kinds of projects and tasks can I expect as a summer student researcher, and how much independence will I have?

As a Summer Student Researcher, you'll typically work on a specific project under the guidance of a faculty member or senior researcher. Your daily tasks may include conducting literature reviews, collecting and analyzing data, and collaborating with other team members during meetings or lab sessions. While you will have direction from your supervisor, you may also be given opportunities to propose ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and manage segments of the research independently. This role is designed to provide hands-on experience and help you develop your research skills in a supportive environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a summer student researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Summer Student Researcher, you need a solid academic background in your field of study, strong analytical skills, and foundational research knowledge, often evidenced by enrollment in a relevant undergraduate or graduate program. Familiarity with data analysis tools, laboratory equipment, or programming languages—depending on the research area—is typically expected. Curiosity, attention to detail, effective communication, and a collaborative mindset are vital soft skills for this role. These abilities are important because they enable students to contribute meaningfully to research projects and maximize learning in a limited timeframe.

Job description


The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Butler University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position starting in August 2027. We welcome applicants in Statistics or closely related fields, but we will consider applicants from all mathematical fields willing to teach courses in our Statistics Major. Other teaching responsibilities may include courses in our Actuarial Science and Data Science Majors, introductory courses in our Mathematics Major, and courses for non-majors. The typical teaching load is three courses (9 credit hours) per semester. Questions about this position may be directed to Dr. Scott Kaschner (skaschne@butler.edu).
Applicants should have:
Candidates must have a PhD by the time of appointment. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to evidence-based and engaged-learning pedagogies as well as to building an inclusive classroom environment for an increasingly diverse student body. We value candidates who share our commitment to engagement and inclusion of students, faculty, and staff with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
Successful candidates will be expected to sustain a research program involving undergraduates and show a commitment to working with students on undergraduate theses and other independent projects. Butler has an established undergraduate research program supported by institutional funds, including internal research funds, the Butler Summer Institute to support summer student research, and the annual Undergraduate Research Conference. There are also funds available to support faculty and student travel to conferences. Start-up funds are available for this position.
To apply, applicants should submit the following:
  • a cover letter discussing qualifications for and interest in the position. Please include your previous experience with and commitment to inclusive and evidence-based pedagogy,
  • a CV,
  • a statement of teaching interests that highlights strategies for inclusive and evidence-based pedagogies,
  • Evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., sample syllabi, student evaluation, peer evaluation),
  • a statement of research interests with plans for a program of research,
  • transcripts of graduate work or other evidence of terminal degree(s) (unofficial is acceptable for candidate review), and
  • list of 3-5 references, including name, title, and contact information (shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide at least three letters of recommendation).

The cover letter and CV can be uploaded individually. All other materials should be submitted as a single PDF. Finalists will be required to submit official transcripts and to undergo a background check. Evaluation of applications will begin on October 1, 2026, but we will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
