An online resource developed by the Nebraska Academy for Early Childhood Research has streamlined the process of promoting and seeking early childhood research opportunities across the University of Nebraska system.
The Student Research Opportunities website enables NU faculty to announce opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students seeking work experience in early childhood research. Students can browse available positions and filter them by campus location, academic level (i.e., graduate or undergraduate), position type (e.g., assistantship, paid, volunteer) and the age group being researched.

Lisa Knoche, NAECR director, said the resource is mutually beneficial for early childhood researchers and students.
“Through this resource, faculty have the opportunity to identify talented undergraduate and graduate students with interests in early childhood research who will help them pursue innovative studies,” she said. “For students, the website enables them to identify research positions that will benefit their own professional and career objectives.”
Faculty can post opportunities using the input form at http://naecr.unl.edu/student-opportunities/faculty-opportunities-form.php. Postings automatically expire after six months, or faculty can select a specific expiration date.
Faculty are encouraged to remind students about the research opportunities posted on the site throughout the semester.
