The Office of Undergraduate Research is seeking faculty mentors for the First Year Research Experience (FYRE) cohort for Academic Year 22-23. The FYRE program allows students to use their federal work study funds in a research or creative activities work position, enabling students to get paid to learn. The FYRE program 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. For AY 22-23, the Office of Undergraduate Research is excited to partner with Career Services to provide structured programming HuskerWork – Career Services ' Nebraska (unl.edu) to help facilitate a successful first year experience.
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, just a willingness to supervise the student and project. Job descriptions from interested faculty mentors for the 2022-23 academic year are due May 8, 2022, and can be submitted at https://go.unl.edu/fyre22-23rev.
