Opportunities

At the U

Mentoring for Undergraduate students in mathematics: The University of Utah AWM mentoring network matches undergraduate students studying math with a graduate student mentor. The program is intended to foster community throughout the department and provide support to undergraduate math students. Undergraduate and graduate students of any gender are welcome and can sign up via the links below.
GURU: Graduate and Undergraduate Researchers of UCEER: Graduate and Undergraduate Researchers of UCEER (GURU) is an NIH-funded, first-of-its-kind program designed to give undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Utah who identify as having a disability the opportunity to join a research team focused on the ethical, legal, and social issues raised by genomic science and genomic medicine. The ultimate goal is to provide students with a combination of mentorship, research, and curricular resources that will maximize their potential for moving on to the next stage of their academic or professional career.
LA program: Undergraduate Learning Assistants (LAs) collaborate with faculty instructors and undergraduate/graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in the College of Science courses to build interactive, collaborative classroom environments.
Math Center: Tutors, Graders, and Lab Assitants: The department of mathematics offers a number of opportunities for undergraduate students to work on campus, get involved in the department, and further develop their mathematical skills and network.
College of Science Internhsip Program: Internships are a great way to gain skills and experience, learn about a possible future career, and network. Because of the increasing importance of internships, we created the College of Science Internship Program. The CoS Internship Program is designed to connect students and employers for internships and to provide internship support and recognition.
Science Research Initiative: The College of Science is committed to placing freshman students in science research programs. At most institutions, students have to wait until the junior or senior to get a taste of research, if at all. The Science Research Initiative (SRI) will provide this opportunity for all our entering students.

USTARS: Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium: The primary mission of the Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS) is to showcase the excellent research conducted by underrepresented students studying topology and algebra. Dedicated to furthering the success of underrepresented students, USTARS seeks to broaden the participation in the mathematical sciences by cultivating research and mentoring networks. USTARS is open to all people interested in the topological and algebraic fields.
NCUWM: The Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics
Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program: The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program provides students with educational opportunities to gain real-world, hands-on research experience with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy. The MLEF program was created in 1995 with the goal of improving opportunities for under-represented and minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship: The program fosters a community of energetic and committed Ph.D. students, alumni, DOE laboratory staff and other scientists who want to have an impact on the nation while advancing their research. Fellows come from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines but share a common interest in using computing in their research.
STEM Ambassador Program: Science relies on diverse ideas and perspectives. The STEM Ambassador Program (STEMAP) is a public engagement training program funded by the National Science Foundation to promote open minded-exchange between members of the public and the scientific community.
AMS Graduate Student Travel Grants: Meetings are an important part of any young mathematical scientist's professional development. Listening to talks, meeting active researchers, connecting with old friends, learning about professional issues and resources, and making new professional connections are building blocks of the early career.
AMS Undergraduate Student Travel Grants: For the Jont Mathematics Meeting.
Faculty Women of Color in the Academy of National Conference: The FWCA conference offers women of color faculty, university administrators, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students a unique educational and professional opportunity to network, engage, and learn with peers from around the country.
Field of Dreams Conference: Each Fall Alliance Scholars, together with their Alliance Mentors, are invited to the Field of Dreams Conference. The Field of Dreams Conference introduces potential graduate students to graduate programs in the mathematical sciences at Alliance schools as well as professional opportunities in these fields. Scholars spend time with faculty mentors from the Alliance schools, get advice on graduate school applications, and attend seminars on graduate school preparation and expectations as well as career seminars.
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics: BSM offers qualified math students a unique opportunity to study mathematics in Budapest.
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education: Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education (BSME) is a study abroad program in Budapest, Hungary, designed for undergraduates and recent graduates interested in the learning and teaching of secondary mathematics.
College to Congress: College to Congress (C2C) creates pathways for high-achieving, low-income college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates to intern in Congress who otherwise could not afford to do so. Congressional internships are essentially a prerequisite for working on Capitol Hill. However, most of them are unpaid, creating a concrete barrier for low-income students. Through our comprehensive program, we aim to disrupt the traditional pipeline of wealthy and connected people filling positions of power in the United States Congress.
Mathematics Research Communities: The AMS’s Mathematics Research Communities (MRC) is a professional development program offering early-career mathematicians a rich array of opportunities to develop collaborative research skills, build a network focused in an active research domain, and receive mentoring from leaders in that area.
AMS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) Workshop: The American Mathematical Society (AMS) sponsors two students each year to participate in the CASE workshop, organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This annual event introduces STEM students to the federal policy-making process, and empowers them to become advocates for basic research throughout their careers.
Causeway at Northwestern University: Causeway is a 12-month post-bacc program designed to prepare students for graduate school through coursework, a research experience, seminars on the profession, mentorship and community building. It is tuition-free and provides a living stipend (about $34,000) to students. The mission of Causeway is to increase the number of graduate students in the mathematical sciences from historically under-represented groups. Applications are now open for the 2020-21 session.
