The ILR Undergraduate Research Fellows Program provides ILR undergraduates with the opportunity to work with a professor during academic year 2024-2025. 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. 

Understanding the Consequences of Layoffs, Workforce Reductions, and Understaffing in Organizations

The Undergraduate Research Fellow will assist Professor Kehoe on research examining the consequences of various organizational staffing decisions, including the implications of layoffs, workforce reductions, and understaffing. The Undergraduate Research Fellow may be asked to conduct online searches for layoff announcements and company financial reports; match, clean, and code data from multiple sources; and conduct literature reviews on relevant topics – with Professor Becca Kehoe.
