Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Each year roughly 20-25 undergraduate engineering students participate in INE reseach projects. Students spend from 10 to 20 hours a week working during the school year, or up to 40 hours a week in the summer.

Participating in these projects gives students "hands-on" experience in basic and applied research, both in the lab and in the field. It also gives students a chance to work with faculty outside the classroom.

How to apply

For jobs that are already advertised, go to UAKJOBS, log in, and check for positions listed under the Institute of Northern Engineering, or under an engineering department (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Geological, and Mining).

For questions about how to post a profile on UAKJOBS, contact INE Human Resources Office.

Rates of Pay are based on experience. Typically, student researchers start as a Student Assistant Level C.

Civil & Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Liz Binning
Civil & Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Liz Binning A landfill installed in Anchorage was designed to minimize the amount of leachate escaping the cap through evapotranspiration. The success of the cap is dependent (amongst others) on the water retention characteristics and permeability of the different layers in the cap. Liz Binning worked to analyze these properties in the lab, and helped recommend what type of soil is most suitable for this landfill.
