[Cuga] Minority/Female Undergraduate Research Assistantship program is now accepting applications – a message from Lisa Surles-Law and Rhonda Bell

[Lorelei Carlson]

Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) is seeking candidates for two research assistantships for undergraduate students to work on projects directly related to the scientific or engineering aspects of the Jefferson Lab research program during the 2022-2023 academic year. The program is open to full-time minority and/or female physics majors who are nominated by a faculty member to apply. Students selected for the program will work at the university under the guidance of a university faculty member and will submit a project report at the end of the assistantship. JSA will provide a $6,000 stipend to each selected student’s university to pay the student through its student employment program, and up to $1,500 is available for each student to visit Jefferson Lab or to attend a related research workshop.



Sponsor nominations for the program, to include a description of the proposed research project and justification for student selection, are due March 31. Nominated students will be provided a link for program applications.



An information session for those interested in nominating a student will be held March 9, 12:45 - 1:15 p.m. Science Education staff will review the requirements of the program and application process and answer any questions you may have about the program. No reservation is needed, and you can join the session here: https://www.zoomgov.com/j/1600459523



Full program details and requirements are available on the M/FURA webpage: https://www.jlab.org/human_resources/MFURA



This project is supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program, a commitment from the JSA owners and SURA. Initiatives Funds support programs, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific outreach, promote the science, education and technology of Jefferson Lab and benefit the lab's extended user community in ways that complement the Lab's basic and applied research missions.



If you have any questions about the program or the scheduled information session, please contact Rhonda Bell at rbell at jlab.org<mailto:rbell at jlab.org>.
