<p>This [page[/url</a>] has a list of undergraduate research projects that are currently being sponsored by Carleton college faculty. You should look it over, see if there is anything that particularly interests you, and then email the appropriate faculty member directly. Chances are that they will be happy to talk about their research to a prospective Carleton student, and can put you directly in touch with current undergraduate researchers. Don’t be shy; LAC professors need help with their work, and are usually on the lookout for potential recruits.</p>
<p>Of course, you can try the same approach at Cornell. Contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Physics about possible [url=<a href=“http://www.physics.cornell.edu/physics/undergradstudies/ugrad.resrch.ops.html]research”>http://www.physics.cornell.edu/physics/undergradstudies/ugrad.resrch.ops.html]research</a> opportunities](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/projects/]page[/url”>http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/projects/). You probably won’t get a referral to the Cornell faculty, but with luck the Director might delegate a graduate student to give you more information.</p>
