Applications are being accepted through July 1 for the 2026-27 cohort of the College of Engineering Graduate Student Teaching Fellows program.

The Graduate Student Teaching Fellows program is a one-year competitive program that prepares graduate students who are currently (or will be) teaching at the postsecondary level. This is a unique opportunity that allows graduate students to engage with evidence-based teaching methods applicable to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Graduate Ph.D.-seeking students will learn to become effective teachers through active participation in a peer-observation program, learning evidence-based course design and development, structured discussions with faculty mentors, and taking part in a course focused on teaching. Upon completion of the program, participants are awarded a non-degree certificate of completion and named a UNL College of Engineering Graduate Student Teaching Fellow. Students will simultaneously earn associate level certification through the CIRTL@Nebraska program (go.unl.edu/cirtl) to be named a CIRTL Associate.

Now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 cohort - Applications close July 1.
