CUR - Registry of Undergraduate Researchers
http://www.cur.org/projects_and_services/registry/default.aspx
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) hosts a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers. The
purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research
experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality
students who are well prepared for research. The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in
the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Business,
Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics, Education, Engineering, English and Linguistics, Environmental
Studies, Geosciences, Health Professions, History, Journalism and Communications,
Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work and
Sociology.
Any undergraduate may go to http://www.cur.org/projects_and_services/registry/ to fill out a simple
information form. Students may also elect to complete a longer curriculum vitae form. There is no charge
to the student and records will be made available to bona fide Graduate Schools that contract with
CUR for this service.
Organizations or companies seeking the students’ information for other marketing purposes will not be
granted access. Graduate School representatives may contact students to invite applications or visits to
the campus and laboratory, or to share information about their research programs and financial support
opportunities.
Graduate schools may provide a link to their websites, and may provide a short description of
opportunities, such as research fields and fellowships. For graduate schools that wish to review the
student information, there is an access fee of $1,500 for the entire database, or $300 for one specific
discipline. Again, there is no cost to students to create a profile.
Our hope that students who are currently in their junior year will register now, but anyone with
undergraduate research experience may register at any time. You will be able to update your listing as
appropriate, to include any summer research experience or information about Senior Theses and test
scores. We also welcome submissions by students who are engaged in Masters' Degree programs now
but who plan on going on to a PhD program. Just fill out the information on the form including the date
you intend to enter a PhD program and your date of completion of your undergraduate degree. Upload a
link to your CV that contains complete information about your MS/MA degree activity (school, subject,
thesis topic (if applicable), and advisor).
CUR believes that this service will be a great benefit for both students and graduate schools by
narrowing the search for the right match. So if you are interested in graduate school, please take a
moment to register now. Be sure to include a statement of your research interests, as this will be
important for making the match.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science and five other agencies (DHS, NASA, VA, Department of
State, and Department of Labor), in collaboration with the Partnership for Public Service, have developed
a pilot website (http://careers.science.gov) to highlight science and technology (S&T) careers in the
Federal government and provide a collection of resources of interest to students and professionals
considering an S&T career in public service.
As you may know, Federal agencies face many challenges in recruiting S&T talent, including:
the lack of general awareness and understanding of the outstanding career opportunities in the Federal
government for scientists and engineers;
the growing retirements of the "baby boomer" generation, which will lead to increased vacancies of key
S&T positions across the Federal agencies;
competition with the private sector for top talent in S&T fields; and
the limitations of USAJOBS.gov—the primary avenue for applying to science and engineering positions
for most Federal agencies—for communicating what jobs are available and what these jobs are really
like.
The pilot website will be available through February 2012. A Feedback Survey developed with and hosted
by the Partnership for Public Service will help provide insight as to how the Federal government might
improve its recruitment of S&T professionals at all levels.
The participating agencies invite you to look at the website (http://careers.science.gov) and complete the
short survey. Feel free to share this message with your colleagues and students.
