The Office of Undergraduate Research is seeking faculty mentors for the 21-22 FYRE cohort. The First Year Research Experience program allows students to use their federal work study funds in a research or creative activities job, enabling students to get paid to learn. FYRE will match interested first year students with faculty mentors to learn about research and creative activity in the mentor’s field by spending 5-10 hours a week on a manageable project over the course of the year.
We are seeking faculty mentors who are committed to student success through high-impact learning practices like undergraduate research and are interested in developing projects and opportunities for freshmen. There is no financial commitment needed from the faculty mentor. Job descriptions from interested faculty mentors for the 2021-22 academic year are due May 15 and can be submitted at http://go.unl.edu/fyrejob.
Learn more about the program including program timeline and how to submit your job description, on the UCARE website . Please contact Justina Clark at jclark17@unl.edu for more information.
