Student Research Assistants
The Institute supports a number of undergraduate research assistant positions each year. The positions are open to Mount Royal University students from all programs. Students provide research assistance to Mount royal faculty members in their IES funded research projects. Ask your professors if they have research projects for you to be involved in.
