Promoting Your Position In-Person
Additionally, OURI sponsors two fairs (one each semester) for departments and campus partners to advertise positions in person.
The Discover Research Fair early in the fall semester is geared towards engaging the interests of undergraduate students in research topics pursued at the university.
The Summer Research and Opportunities Fair in early spring allows students to explore summer research and other opportunities at Rice or in the Houston area.
