Internship-Carleton University Research Experience for Undergraduate Students (I-CUREUS)      

Have you ever wanted to conduct research in an area of your interest while getting paid for it? Are you looking for a way to gain hands-on experience to add value to your resume or degree? If yes, then I-CUREUS may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Half is funded by the Discovery Centre and half by the faculty supervisor (+ 14% payroll benefits paid by the Discovery Centre and faculty supervisor).

Carleton University Research Opportunity (CUROP) (undergraduate)

As part of the Carleton University Research Opportunity Program (CUROP), the Faculty of Public Affairs  hosts summer undergraduate research internships. This is a student-led initiative. In collaboration with a faculty member, each student participant will design their own research project and complete it over the summer.

Students will receive a stipend of $7500 (this sum includes 4% vacation pay and statutory holidays) over the course of the summer. The expectation is that the research project undertaken will constitute a full-time, or near full-time, opportunity during the summer terms.
