URO Memberships!

Are you interested in research? Become a UBC Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO) member today! URO members receive access to exclusive resources and events to help kickstart their research journey.

$5 Membership (General tier):

• Access to Research Coaches (upper year students with research experience) for 1-on-1 guidance related to research opportunities available to you and other aspects of getting into research, such as cold-emailing profs, writing a cover letter, and drafting a resume.
• Access to the Research Involvement Fair (RIF) held in February, where you get a chance to interview for student research positions within your field. We have held over 50 student interviews every year. 
• Access to Interdisciplinary Prof Chats, where you get a chance to have an informal conversation with a prof in a small group setting to learn more about life in academia and other aspects of academic life, such as teaching and supervising. 
• Access to our Newsletter! Every month we source and collect a list of opportunities available to undergraduates and then publish them in our Newsletter. This could be your chance to find amazing opportunities!

$10 Membership (REX tier):

• Every perk in the $5 membership tier.
• Ability to apply to the Research EXperience (REX) program! If accepted, you will be paired with a graduate/postdoctoral mentor in your field to work on a theoretical research project alongside a small group of students from October to March. At the end of your project, you will have the opportunity to present your research at UBC's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference (MURC).

Upon your membership purchase, you will receive a confirmation email with an intake survey. Please fill this out in order to receive your URO number that you will use throughout the year!
