Recruiting Undergraduates

Recruit Undergraduate Researchers

With the retirement of the UCLA Undergraduate Research Portal, our center now offers several streamlined options for labs and programs to recruit undergraduate researchers in STEM fields. Whether you’re looking for students with prior experience or those eager to get started, we can help you connect with a diverse pool of motivated undergraduates. 

 Our #1 recommendation is to post a recruitment notice on your lab’s website, as that is where we direct students who are searching for a position, and it helps to ensure that the student is interested in your lab specifically. 

However, we can also help disseminate your listing.

Submit a Recruitment Request

We invite faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and lab managers to email urcsciences@college.ucla.edu to submit opportunities for undergraduate researchers.
