applepie31 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hello, I am applying for Materials Science and Engineering, Ph.D. program and wondering if I should include my REU program as my previous employment history. I would really appreciate any comment ! Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoDUDE! Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yes. If you got paid, then you were an employee (and not a volunteer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It depends. If the application asks for research experience AND employment history, then I would put REUs and similar positions under research experience and put non-research related employment under employment history. I would do this because there is no point repeating yourself and if they differentiate between research experience and "employment history", then I would infer that they are looking for non-research employment under "employment history". But you're free to do your own interpretation of course. If they only ask for employment history, then I would put all research related experience here, even if it was unpaid/volunteer work. ssynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
