Overview

Opportunity Description

The ILR Undergraduate Research Fellows Program provides ILR undergraduates with the opportunity to work with a professor during academic year 2025-2026. This program was developed in response to numerous requests we have received from undergraduates for research opportunities and in the hope that it will facilitate one-on-one student/faculty interactions. Students participating in this program will receive an hourly pay of $17 per hour for up to 10 hours a week. Awards will be made on a one semester basis with renewal possible for the second semester. Students may not earn credit for the research project during the semester or year they are being paid as a research assistant.

Organizational Interventions to Alleviate Burnout and Promote Well-Being

Our research examines whether organizational interventions can reduce employee burnout and improve well-being. We address these questions through a randomized field experiment in U.S. veterinary clinics. We are seeking two research assistants to join our team. Responsibilities include conducting literature reviews on burnout in veterinary and healthcare settings, managing data, and assisting with presentation preparation. The Fellows for this project will be co-sponsored by ILR WIDE. – with Professor Brittany Bond and Professor Duanyi Yang
