Faculty Mentors and Researchers
Diverse Mentors and Researchers
Faculty are integral partners at ARCS. They form the foundation and continuity of the Center, making an impact while expanding professional development and accessing the Center’s broad resources.
If you join ARCS, you will:
Receive Student Research Team Support
Grow your team with dedicated ARCS grad
and/or undergrad students. Diverse majors bring multidisciplinary approaches and POVs to further your project’s research.
Access Support for Funding Proposals
Collaborative grant proposals are often more competitive. Work with ARCS partners to seek funding and convergence opportunities to support and grow your research. Explore our established relationships to build your resources.
Build Your CV
Gain experience that will significantly boost your CV and enhance visibility in your field. Take advantage of networking opportunities with other researchers, both within and outside CSUN, to explore new collaborations, mentorships, and career advancement.
Engage in Multidisciplinary Collaboration
ARCS brings together researchers with diverse expertise to increase the quality of CSUN’s institutional capacity. Work alongside campus-wide colleagues and external co-investigators, promoting cross-disciplinary expertise and innovation. This can lead to research projects and funding opportunities that would be difficult to pursue alone.
Take Your Research Further
ARCS projects facilitate translational research, bridging the gap between basic research and real-world applications. We strive for academic and business results that make a difference to our community and our world.
Become Part of an Innovative Community
ARCS’ leadership and senior faculty can provide mentorship to junior faculty. In addition, all faculty can share skills and knowledge across fields, invaluable for professional development. Join a team dedicated to advancing faculty success, creating convergent achievements and building the leaders of tomorrow.
