About Student Research

Research Ambassadors

Thank You, 2026 Seniors!

Are you interested in becoming a Research Ambassador for 2026-27? 

This is a volunteer position where experienced undergraduate researchers act as liaisons for our office to offer support and insights to their peers. It typically requires about 10 hours per semester, plus the ability to answer student inquiries that come directly to your email. To be eligible for a Research Ambassador position you must have at least one summer of full time research experience or two semesters during the academic year at time of application.

Application deadline: 11:59pm July 6 or the first 100 applicants, whichever comes first.

• How do you ask a professor if you can be a part of their research group?
• How do you balance your research with your coursework and extracurriculars?
• Could I tour your lab or shadow you for a day to see what it’s like?
• What conferences have you presented your research at? How did you know it was the right conference to apply to?
