The IQSS Undergraduate Research Scholars have begun a new academic year, and the Harvard community is invited to join them for a guest speaker visit on September 25.
A program under the direction of Dustin Tingley (Dept. of Government), the Undergraduate Research Scholars (URS) program connecting Harvard researchers with undergraduates interested in research experience. Faculty participants are provided with grant support for their research, while Harvard undergraduates have the unique opportunity to gain first-hand experience working on a faculty-led project. Students in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program are paid, part-time research assistants and considered IQSS affiliates, with access to resources and guidance that would help them to develop valuable research and academic skills.
As part of the 2015-2016 calendar of events, the URS program will host a special talk this month. Danny Ferrante, Director of Data Science at Facebook, will present "Research and the Hackers Way: Data Science at Facebook" in the Tsai Auditorium on September 25. This event is open to the Harvard community, and more details can be found in the IQSS calendar. For more information about URS and how faculty and students can apply to the program, please visit the Undergraduate Research Scholars website.
