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,

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.
