If you're already involved in undergraduate research and want to help support the next group of undergraduate researchers here at FSU, you should apply to be an Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) Leader! This is a great opportunity if you are interested in gaining teaching experience while positively impacting UROP students’ research journeys at FSU.

We need UROP Leaders from all different majors and disciplines, especially those who have experience conducting research in engineering, nursing, humanities, and creative arts.
This position will require you to take a 1-credit hour training course in the spring. You will learn pedagogical techniques, create your lesson plans for the following year, and match with your colloquium co-leader!
During the following school year, UROP leaders will teach a 1-hr colloquium every other week. The sections will include students within your discipline to allow for individualized lessons on research in your field. UROP Leaders will also receive extra support during the academic year through participation in the UROP Leader Support class. In addition, UROP leaders will receive a stipend disbursed throughout the academic year.
Eligibility Requirements
