Research Opportunities
Postdoctoral Research Opportunities
SEAS faculty members actively seek postdoctoral students to assist in their research. For current openings, please visit the Postdoctoral Research Opportunities page.
Graduate Research Opportunities
Students who are accepted to our Ph.D. Program usually receive financial support (tuition and stipend) for their entire period of study, provided their performance is satisfactory.
A unique feature of our doctoral program is support during the first year from University Fellowships. This financial independence gives beginning graduate students the freedom to explore various topics with different faculty members. Exceptional students receive financial supplements from the School of Engineering & Applied Science in addition to their University Fellowship.
After their first year, students are usually appointed Assistants in Research, and their tuition support and stipend come from the grants and contracts of their faculty research advisors.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Engineering students are often eager to start research projects. Our favorable student-to-faculty ratio allows each student to work directly with a faculty mentor to identify research opportunities geared to their interests. All students must complete a Senior Project that may include research that prepares them for graduate study in Engineering, either at Yale or other top-rated universities. Examples of Student Research and Senior Projects can be viewed on the Senior Projects page.
Department or Program-sponsored social events also provide another opportunity for incoming engineering students to meet engineering majors and learn about traditional research opportunities as well as the activities of student engineering organizations. This exposure is the gateway to research activity, typically begun the summer after freshman year. For the motivated and well-prepared students, student engineering organizations provide a great opportunity for getting hands-on experience in research and development.
