As a part of the mission to train future water researchers and arrange research addressing water problems and the understanding of water, the Nebraska Water Center is seeking applicants for a new Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship program.

Undergraduate students who plan to go into a water-related career field and are interested in gaining research experience and coauthoring a publication are invited to apply. Applications are encouraged from students who desire to work in the Water Sciences Laboratory as part of the fellowship program. Undergraduate research fellows would:

  • Work with University of Nebraska faculty to help complete a research project leading to a publication
  • Conduct research during Summer 2025, to be completed by Aug. 31. The fellowship positions will be paid $16 per hour.

Interested students should be full-time undergraduate students at any college or University in Nebraska and available to work full-time up to 35 hours per week during the summer.  To apply, undergraduate students are asked to work with a faculty mentor to identify a research topic and prepare a proposal. Interested undergraduate students are asked to email their resume, transcript, and proposal to Ann Briggs at annbriggs@nebraska.edu.

Applications are due March 14. Selected undergraduate fellows will be notified of their selection by mid-April. Application instructions, sample proposals, and timeline details can be found at go.unl.edu/NWCFellowship.
