G.R.O.U.P. Apprenticeships

G.R.O.U.P. Summer Apprenticeships pair faculty members and undergraduate students in summer research projects, allowing the students to develop new skills under the guidance of a faculty mentor and to experience the rigor and excitement of academic research in an area of their interest. Faculty gain the time and opportunity to explore new ideas, and the collaboration with their apprentice may even generate new undergraduate courses and curricula.

Project proposals addressing a wide range of topics such as “Humanities and New Media” or “The Humanities and Biotechnology” are invited from UC Berkeley faculty. Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate eventual curricular implications, involve sustained faculty-student mentoring, and allow for significant independence in student research. The expectation of the program is that both students and faculty members will produce tangible outcomes at the end of the summer. In the case of proposals of equal merit, preference will be given to ladder faculty.
