Online MURE Application
Step 1: CHOOSE Your Lab(s)
- Read through the descriptions of the research opportunities.
You may apply to work in up to 3 labs.
- Don't be alarmed if you don't understand all of the lab descriptions
because the research mentor will explain more to you during the interview.
- You will be expected to be in the lab for at least 5 hours per week for two semesters.
- Before you choose your labs(s), feel free to contact past MURE students who have worked in the lab. Their names
are listed, with e-mail addresses, at the bottom of each professor's lab description.
Step 2: COMPLETE the Application(s)

- Select Complete/Edit Application from the online application.
- Applications are due on October 15, 2008.
Step 3: GO to the Interview(s)
- After you have submitted your application(s), they will be reviewed by the
respective researchers.
- Monitor your email regularly as this is the most convenient mode of
communication. Researchers will contact you between Oct. 15-Nov. 10 if they would like to set up an interview.
- During the interview, you will have the opportunity to tour the lab and meet the graduate students,
post-docs, and others who work in the lab to determine if it is a good placement for
you.
Step 4: AFTER the interview
- Return to your online application and select "Faculty Preferences" from left sidebar menu.
- Preferences must be submited no later than November 10th.
Step 5: GET Your Lab Placement

5.
Placements are arranged according to BOTH your and the researchers' preferences.
- Placements begin in January 2008 with the start of Spring semester. You should schedule a time to meet with your
mentor at that time.
