Application Timeline for Undergraduate Research 

Starting in Fall 2024, undergraduate students will apply to open positions in the Morgan Lab using a Google Form, providing structure and equity to the process of welcoming undergraduate students into our lab. 

Project specific job postings will be posted on our website, selections for interviews will be made by the mentor and PI, interviews will be conducted by the mentor, and the PI will have a meet-and-greet with the final undergraduate candidate before making an offer. Interviews and the meet-and-greet will be in person. These events will follow the timeline below:

Fall semester

• • Ad posted March 1st - April 15th

  • Selections made for interviews April 16th - April 22nd

  • Interviews conducted by mentor April 23rd - May 2nd

  • PI meet-and-greet May 3rd - May 9th 

  • Final decisions will be announced on May 10th

Spring semester 

• • Ad posted October 1st - November 15th 

  • Selections made for interviews November 16th - November 22nd

  • Interviews conducted by mentor November 23rd - December 4th

  • PI meet-and-greet  December 5th - December 11th

  • Final decisions will be announced on December 12th

We will do our best to plan ahead of time for open undergraduate positions in the Morgan lab. It is possible that an undergraduate research opportunity (due to an unexpected research need in the lab) will become available closer to the start of the fall or spring semester. Due to this circumstance, we will always encourage interested undergraduates to fill out the Google Form, even in the absence of open positions. The applications will be considered for one calendar year after they are completed, including for future posted opportunities. When an open position is posted on the website, all applications completed in the last calendar year will be considered and filtered based on project and/or discipline interest.
