Successful candidates are also expected to maintain a vibrant, ongoing research program that actively incorporates undergraduate students in a liberal arts setting.

During the summer, Denison and several affiliated funding agencies provide research and housing stipends for the support of undergraduate research students, including faculty stipends. Research with students during the academic year is also supported with funding available from various internal sources.
