Exploration of Biological Studies and Experimentation by a College Student
Applications are now open for undergraduate research opportunities in Biology for the Winter Term 2026 and Spring 2026. The department encourages students to apply, even if they are not selected during the initial placement of applicants, as they will remain in the pool for potential spots opening up later in the cycle.
The demand for research spots is expected to exceed the supply, making these opportunities highly competitive. However, students are encouraged to apply again in the future if they are not selected during the initial round.
There are various ways for students to gain authentic research experiences. These include Undergraduate Research Intensive (URI) courses, numerous upper-level laboratory courses in various areas of biology, and specific lab courses such as BIOL 211 and BIOL 224. URI courses have been designated to provide intensive research experiences for students.
Faculty will review applications during the month following the term's deadline for full consideration. Selection will be by mutual agreement of individual student/faculty pairs, with faculty members contacting students to discuss potential research projects. It is important to note that submitting an application and having a meeting with a faculty member does not guarantee a spot in a lab.
The deadline for the Winter Term 2026 and Spring 2026 applications is October 17, 2025. A separate form will be available for summer and fall research, with more information on the current form.
For those interested in learning about ongoing research, the department provides access to faculty pages. Unfortunately, the search results do not provide specific names of biology professors participating in research projects in winter term 2026 or spring 2026, nor details about their current research projects.
In summary, the Biology department offers numerous opportunities for undergraduate research, with the Winter Term 2026 and Spring 2026 applications now open. Students are encouraged to apply and to remain persistent, as there are opportunities for students who are not selected initially to be considered later in the cycle. For more information, visit the department's website or contact the Biology department directly.
