Opportunities for Undergraduate Researchers

The PAC Lab welcomes applications from motivated UM undergraduate students who have a strong interest in conducting political communication research. Undergraduate students are asked to commit 5-7 hours a week to the lab for at least one academic year. Students interested in joining the lab should email Professor Kwak or Weeks a brief statement of their research interests as well as a resume or CV. Typically, the lab has space for 3-4 undergraduate students per year.

The Politics and Communication Lab (PAC Lab) is a collaborative research group that investigates the role of digital and social media in the political process.

The PAC Lab is based in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Michigan
