Undergraduate Fellowship
Call for Faculty:
Please Check Back in Fall 2024 for Summer 2025 opportunities
The UMass Center for Justice, Law, and Societies invites faculty applications (including from faculty not on the tenure track) for our summer undergraduate research fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship, which offers $5000 of summer funding, is to support a student researcher in the SBS/RISE program. This program serves undergraduate students who identify as first generation, BIPOC, and/or are from low-income families. With CJLS support, the awarded fellow will conduct original research with a faculty member, providing exposure to research design, methods, and publication.
Interested faculty should have a concrete project that an undergraduate can help complete over the course of the summer. While helpful, it is not necessary to already have SBS/RISE student in mind as a research assistant.
Faculty applicants should submit an abstract of the project, a detailed description of what the tasks for the undergraduate will be, and a mentoring plan (each up to 3000 characters). Applications will be evaluated on the appropriateness of the project for an undergraduate, the match between the project and the fellowship goals, and the quality of the mentoring plan.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Jamie Rowen (CJLS Director) at [email protected], or Dr. Felicia Griffin-Fennell (AFP Director) at [email protected].
