Summer-Fall 2025 AJC Merit Research Scholars Co-op Applications Now Open!
We are happy to share that we are accepting applications for the fifth cohort of the AJC Merit Research Scholarship for the Summer-Fall 2025 Co-op cycle! These Co-ops will begin in July and end in December.
Academically talented and ambitious students can apply to conduct research in the lab or group of a tenured or tenure-track STEM faculty member at a rate comparable to what they’d encounter in industry in two ways:
- Submit a proposal to conduct a research co-op with a faculty member with whom they are already working; or
- Apply into an approved AJC Merit Research Scholar Co-op position.
Below is an overview of the eleven faculty-approved positions collaborating with Undergraduate Research and Fellowships. Full job descriptions can be viewed on NUWorks. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
