Undergraduate opportunities
Hourly positions: Undergraduate students are employed to assist with laboratory, greenhouse, and field research projects. Students typically work 8-12 hours/week during the academic year and full-time during the summer (late May through August).
Independent research projects: Undergraduate students interested in conducting guided independent research projects may be funded through any of a variety of UW fellowship programs (e.g., Hilldale, Holstrom) or through the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. These are competitive programs, with annual application deadlines typically in January. Inquire early!
