  • Outstanding Scholars
  • Summer Research (students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th years, see below)
  • Work study (see below)

 

Students with GPAs of 80% and higher in year 2, 3 and 4:
We invite undergraduate students in their second, third and fourth years of Honours Chemistry and Biochemistry programs to attend:

  • Annual Undergraduate Research Information Session for prospective 4th-year Honours project and summer students, where you can meet the faculty members, learn about their research, and enjoy some free food and drinks!


Students currently in third year:
Next year will be your opportunity to do an Honours Project (59-410), and this is a chance to see what is available.


Students with GPAs of 80% and higher in year 2, 3 and 4:
You are encouraged to apply for NSERC Undergraduate Summer Research Awards (USRA) - a faculty member must support your application and write a proposal with you for your application. Please note that even if you do not receive an NSERC USRA, many faculty members have research funding that can support you for a summer position.  Please inquire to individual faculty as to whether summer positions are available.

 

Ignite Work-Study Program:

Some part time work positions may be available during the Fall/Winter or Summer terms, depending on the faculty supervisors. Please check the mySucces https://success.uwindsor.ca/ portal to find out.
