undergraduate fellowship
(Call For faculty)
The UMass Center for Justice, Law, and Societies invites faculty applications (including from faculty not on the tenure track) for our inaugural summer undergraduate research fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship, which offers $5000 of summer funding, is to support a student in the Academic Fellows 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 an Academic Fellow in mind as a research assistant.
Faculty applicants should submit here 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. Applications are due by February 28, and awards will be announced by March 15.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Jamie Rowen (CJLS Director) at jrowen@umass.edu, or Dr. Felicia Griffin-Fennell (AFP Director) at fgriffinfenn@umass.edu.
