MSIRA fellows receive formal training in research methods via a 10-week course (POSC 114L), and then selected students complete a research apprenticeship. MSIRA fellows will support a public engagement research study, and selected MSIRA fellows will be matched to a scholar of political science who will serve as their mentor. During their apprenticeship, MSIRA fellows will provide research support to their mentors and have opportunities to learn more about applying to graduate school.

If you would like to be in the following cohort (POSC 114L Winter- Apprenticeship Spring 2025), please apply by October 28th, 2024 at 9AM. For more information, visit the “APPLICATION INFORMATION” tab.
