Planning for the 2017 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program is underway, and undergraduates will begin applying in January.

To support and implement SURF, we will hire 4 graduate students for the summer. The position announcement and details are provided here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/SURF/Programs/2017GA

SURF Graduate Assistants gain a unique experience that contributes to their professional portfolio in the following areas:

• Support and development of undergraduate researchers in and outside their discipline
• Interactions with students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines in engineering, science, and agriculture
• Administrative and leadership experience gained from implementing a large university research program

This position could be particularly beneficial for the graduate student planning a career in academia.

If you are interested, please submit an application by February 3. If you have questions, contact Vicki Leavitt, SURF Program Manager, surf@purdue.edu.
