Background: Replacing the CentER Honors Program, the goal of the CentER Honors Research Experience is to make top students familiar with academic research at TiSEM, by jointly working with TiSEM professors on academic research.

Target group: Second and third-year Bachelor and Master students with a GPA of at least 7.5 and with a serious interest in doing research and pursuing an academic career.

Set-up: During a period of 10 weeks students work on a research project (individual or in small groups, depending on number of projects handed in) and are supervised by an academic staff member. They will meet with the academic supervisor at least 5 times to discuss the progress of the project. During these meetings, the supervisor also shares some information on “academic life”. At the end of the period, students will present the results of their project to their fellow students and the researchers involved. Further, participants will be required to attend 2 research seminars from the research group relevant to their project and will have a meeting with the Graduate Program Coordinator to talk about the possibilities for an academic career.

Credits: the project is “on top of” regular curricula. A certificate and 4 ECTS (112 hours) will be awarded upon successful completion.

Selection criteria: GPA at least 7.5, motivation letter and resume

Period: Two rounds per year: summer (in the period May to August) or fall (in the period September to December).

Projects: Project proposals are provided by research faculty of TiSEM. Projects can include different elements of conducting research, such as data collection, data analysis, model analysis, model development, programming, and experiment. Students can indicate a preference for a research direction, and selected students will be assigned to a supervisor on the basis of their preference, experience and education.

Do you want to apply for the Honors Research Experience?: Send your grade list (with GPA), motivation letter and resume in English to CHP@uvt.nl. You will be informed about whether you are selected and to which supervisor you are assigned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms Carine Rocha, Coordinator Research Masters at the CentER Research Master office, room K 122, email CHP@tilburguniversity.edu

The ideal candidate is a student that has a proactive and go-getter attitude that is curious to know more about cutting edge topics explored by the professors in the department.

During your work you will gain:

• Hard skills that you will develop include mathematical analysis and programming. 
• Soft skills includes critical thinking and scientific writing.

If you are interested in this opportunity I encourage you to get in touch with me, as the application will require the development of a small research project.

Procedure for the application:

• Step 1: get in touch with me via eMail with and idea that you would like to develop or simply saying why you believe that you are a good fit for this position of research student assistant.
• Step 2: If you pass the initial screening we will develop a proposal following your idea or you will select among the currently available proposals
• Step 3: A committee at the department of management will evaluate the proposal and your suitability for the project
• Step 4: If successful you will start working as SA base on your available time.

Note: Projects (and students) that have the greatest potential towards top publications (see this journal list for more information) will have a greater chance of been accepted.
