Overview
The Valente Center for Arts & Sciences is soliciting applications for paid undergraduate research fellowships for students to pursue an arts and sciences-focused research project for the AY 2018/2019. Hours are flexible and should average five hours per week (up to 120 hours over the academic year) with an hourly wage of $12. Research fellowships include periodic milestones to track progress and culminate in a written paper, manuscript, conference presentation, or other deliverable in May 2019, which must include a poster or oral presentation at the spring Undergraduate Research Conference.
Undergraduate Research Fellows are required to have a faculty mentor to provide guidance over the course of the year as the student independently undertakes his/her project. Prior to submitting an application, candidates must seek out a faculty mentor.
Note: Fellowship research projects may not be used simultaneously for any course or program-related credit, including the Honors capstone project, a directed study, or an LSM culminating experience.

Applications may be submitted on a rolling basis until September 7, 2018.
