Research Opportunities

The Office for Undergraduate Research lists research opportunities for both UAB and other institutions across the nation.

For UAB Research Opportunities, please visit the list of Faculty Mentors. These faculty often serve as mentors to undergraduates. You can browse or search this list based on your research interest and contact faculty if they have open positions. Also visit Dragontrail from Career and Professional Devleopment Services. The link below will provide an up-to-date list of research jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities.

You can also register for Undergraduate Research Courses. All of these courses have a strong research component associated with them.

In addition, you should talk with faculty you have courses with and fellow students. Plus, every departmental website has faculty listings that describe the faculty's work and provides their contact information. These are all good sources for finding research experiences.
