An empowering guide for students in STEMM that demystifies the
process of securing undergraduate research experiences. Conducting
research is an important foundation for many undergraduates on
STEMM career paths. But landing an extremely competitive research
spot that is also an enriching experience involves knowing how to
present yourself effectively and an awareness of your goals and
expectations. In this book, an expert lab manager and a longtime
principal investigator share their secrets for obtaining these
coveted positions. Offering advice to students in a wide variety of
STEMM fields at both research-intensive universities and primarily
undergraduate institutions, Getting In helps students navigate the
hidden curriculum of academia, unofficial rules that
disproportionately affect first-generation college students and
those from low-income backgrounds and communities historically
underrepresented in science. The authors provide not only an
overview of STEMM research and lab opportunities but also specific
strategies for the entire application process-including how to
write emails that get noticed by busy professors, how to ask for a
research position during office hours, and interview questions to
prepare for-so students can claim their place in research settings.
With its emphasis on the many interpersonal and professional
benefits of research experiences, Getting In equips all STEMM
undergrads with the tools they need both to secure these valued
positions and to develop habits that will build productive
relationships with their future research mentors.
