Students continue to knock on our door and inquire about undergraduate research opportunities for summer & fall. We’ve been on a roll with providing opportunities for these students; let’s keep up the momentum! If you have an opportunity or potential opportunity for summer or fall, please email Cynthia.byars@uky.edu with the information to be posted on the UGR Current Opportunities webpage. Thank you for supporting the Office of Undergraduate Research!

Congratulations to Josh James who was accepted into the full-time Summer Employment Research Apprentice Program through the UK Outreach Center for Science and Health Career Opportunities. He will work under the mentorship of Drs. Stemple and Dietrich, as well as, Colleen McMullen (Physiology). This program provides a paid, full-time summer job for students who express a strong desire to pursue research as a career. Mentors must also qualify by being able to provide a rich experience for selected undergraduates, allowing them to become actively involved in the lab and hopefully creating an interest in furthering their careers in medical research.
