Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow

Each year, C-CAS awards a number undergraduate summer research fellowships. Students awarded a fellowship will conduct their cutting‑edge research on topics of organic synthesis, computational chemistry, and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). These students will be placed in the lab of a C-CAS faculty advisor at one of the thirteen partner universities listed below and work closely with a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher as their immediate mentor.

Each SURF position is full time (40 hours/week maximum) and provides a total stipend of $7,000 over a 10‑week period and a $3,000 housing allowance. Students awarded a paid fellowship are responsible for securing their own transportation to the University, housing, and food for the summer. For students placed at Notre Dame, the University offers summer housing and meal plans (detailed information is available .edu/student‑services‑resources/),

or students can opt to live off campus.

More details can be found on our website.

Fellowship recipients will be part of the C-CAS research community and have the opportunity to participate in a variety of social and professional development activities. At the conclusion of their research, each SURF recipient is required to prepare a short presentation of their project accomplishments to be presented during the final week of the program.
