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.

What are Summer Student Researchers?

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.

Apprentices must reside in or near Providence for the summer. [Graduate students are accepted under special circumstances. Students may apply for a repeat summer experience as a Senior Research Apprentice, with a slightly higher stipend.] Successful applicants are required to apply for student membership ($45 Fee) in the Sleep Research Society.Brown University Health employees are expected to successfully role model the organization's values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence as these values guide our everyday actions with patients, customers and one another.In addition to our values, all employees are expected to demonstrate the core Success Factors which tell us how we work together and how we get things done.

During the research phases of the program, apprentices are assigned to teams and work 5 or 6 days each week - not always Monday through Friday, often Saturday and Sunday - in research protocols that involve working unusual schedules. Although we attempt to assign teams to hours that correspond to team members' circadian phase preferences, applicants must be able and willing to work on any of the following types of schedules for all or part of the program: Owl shifts may begin as early as 2 pm or as late as 9:45 pm and end as early as 10:30 pm or as late as 5:45 am; lark shifts may begin as early as 3:00 am or as late as noon and may end as early as 8:45 am or as late as 5:15 pm; neither shifts may begin as early as 6:45 am or as late as 3:45 pm and end as early as 11:00 am or as late as 10:15 pm.
