Feeling lost during your degree? Here’s some valuable advice for undergrads from Dr. Erin MacMillan 🌟🎓

Are you looking for a research position this coming term/summer⁉️We got the perfect event for you to meet and interview with research labs.URO’s Research Involvement Fair (RIF) connects research faculty with undergraduate students through a “speed interview” event. Undergrads get a unique opportunity to practice their interview skills, explore diverse research fields, and connect one-on-one with Principal Investigators or research team members. Successful applicants will have the chance to interview directly with labs that are looking to welcome new students into their teams.However, any research opportunities or positions beyond this event are at the discretion of both the interviewer and the student.Due to high demand, RIF is a competitive program and entry into this program is NOT guaranteed.Students of all academic backgrounds and research experience are encouraged to apply! However, this is a MEMBER-ONLY event, so please ensure you have purchased a membership before applying. You can purchase one through our linktree or website.Event Details: Applying prior to the early bird deadline will grant your application a bonus point𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: Thursday, February 12, 2026 on Zoom from 5:30 – 8:30 PST 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: Thursday, January 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: Monday, January 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0rfRXjw3uWfkttc (also available via the link in our bio & website)Please check our linktree or our website to see the application adjudication rubric and a list of participating labs.
