Faculty and students are encouraged to consider applying to host or become a student worker via the Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URA) program.
The Research and Individualized Student Experiences (RISE) Office in partnership with the Financial Aid Office supports 12 URA positions through the federally funded Work-Study program. This program allows faculty from across the university to request an eligible student as a research assistant to advance their research/scholarship.
The specific responsibilities of the student will vary based on discipline but are intended to be more task-oriented (e.g. data entry, literature searches, grant proposal support, routine lab or studio work) than research appropriate for independent-study credit or summer research supported through grants.
Several faculty within a department or across disciplines are encouraged to apply together for a single Undergraduate Research Assistantship position. This is a pre-matched Federal Work-Study position, so faculty will be asked to identify students that will be assigned for the full academic year unless they cease to be eligible financially or academically.
The completed signed application will be accepted on a rolling basis through the Summer 2020 until Sept. 4.
