Nebraska Water Center seeking applications for
Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship
As a part of its mission to train future water researchers and arrange research addressing water problems and the understanding of water, the Nebraska Water Center is seeking applicants for a new Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship program.
Undergraduate students who plan to go into a water-related career field and are interested in gaining research experience and coauthoring a publication are invited to apply. Applications are encouraged from students who have anticipated graduation dates in 2027 or 2028. Undergraduate research fellows would:
Work with University of Nebraska faculty to help complete a research project leading to a publication.
Conduct research during Summer 2026, to be completed by August 31, 2026. The fellowship positions will be paid $16 per hour.
Interested students should be full-time undergraduate students at any college or university in Nebraska and available to work up to 35 hours per week during the summer.
To apply, undergraduate students are asked to work with a faculty mentor to identify a research topic and prepare a proposal. Interested undergraduate students are asked to email their resume, transcript, proposal and letter of recommendation to Ann Briggs at annbriggs@nebraska.edu.
Applications are due March 13, 2026. Selected undergraduate fellows will be notified of their selection by mid-April.
