GRAD STUDENTS AND POST DOCS- Do you want to use your skills for good AND gain experience? UT CONNECT might be for you!
UT CONNECT brings together Masters, PhD's, and Post-docs with Community Organizations to assist in data, research, and evaluation projects.
These short-term (3-4 months) projects, help organizations understand their client or community landscape, gain meaningful insight into their work, and achieve their desired social impact. In return, students gain experience in delivering high-quality, actionable work to support the organizations work for years to come.
Projects are primarily remote and asynchronous, with optional meetings determined by the student-organization team. We need students with quantitative and qualitative research skills, from logic models and literature reviews, all the way to website design, coding, and report report building.
We are now accepting student applications for Summer 2026!
