Academic Year Part-Time Undergraduate Research Fellow Program

The Academic Year Part-Time Undergraduate Research Fellow Program connects King Center faculty affiliates and affiliated researchers with undergraduate students committed to providing research support for 8-10 hours per week during autumn, winter, and spring quarters. 

Students have the opportunity to engage in world-class research and have real-world impact. Undergraduate student research fellows are paid $19/hour for 8-10 hours per week. Students must be enrolled to participate. Students who plan on studying abroad are not eligible.  

Students must submit an I-9 form to verify employment and receive payments. 

All opportunities are currently filled for the academic year.

Learn About Recent Opportunities

Please note that the faculty member must request the research fellow support from the King Center, so if you are an undergraduate student and are interested in a particular faculty affiliate's research, please contact the Faculty Affiliate and/or affiliated researcher directly.

Read the Expectations and Resources and the Participation Agreement for more details on the expectations for both faculty and student research fellows.
