Need a research mentor and aren't sure where to start? Below are some resources.
- Recruitment Videos – Looking for a Distinction project or mentor? Five departments/mentors recorded videos to tell you about themselves and the research they are doing. They would really love to have an MS3 Research Distinction student next year, so please watch the compilation and let us know if you’d like to get in touch with any one of them!
- List of Mentors/Projects – In addition to the new video above, we have been maintaining a small list of potential projects for Research Distinction students. This list is by no means comprehensive and we don’t have many recent updates. If you are contacting someone who submitted their info last year, just check in with them to see if it is still an option.
- Eureka – Students are invited to join Eureka — UT’s easy-to-use research database — to connect with each other and with faculty on research interests and needs. To get started, visit eureka.utexas.edu and sign in with your EID to create a profile. Explore faculty interests and projects to find opportunities that fit your interests and to get contact information. Select the affiliated department of Dell Medical School to filter by our team.
- List of Associate Chairs of Research Happening at Dell Med– The Associate Chairs have been alerted that students may contact them for opportunities in their particular departmental areas.
- For general questions and advice, please don't hesitate to reach out to Distinction Chair, Dr. Alex Haynes.
Please do not be afraid to email faculty and ask them for their time. Working with students is why some faculty love being in Academic Medicine! It is ultimately up to you to contact these faculty members and assess whether their team might be a good fit for you or not. Read on below for some things you will want to explore in a prospective mentor meeting.If you are stuck and need advice, please contact the distinction chair, Dr. Alex Haynes, to set up an advising session.
