Research EXperience (REX) program - The University of British Columbia

We are currently looking for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the faculty of Science who are interested in committing a minimum of 4 hours each month to act as a mentor. If this opportunity interests you and you would like to become a mentor, please fill out the final registration and bio submission form here by 11:59PM on Thursday, August 31st! This is a great opportunity for graduate students to gain mentorship, leadership, and management skills. Furthermore, the REX program assists mentors on the lookout for promising students to take into their research groups through direct evaluation for 6 months (October to March). 

At the end of the REX program, the undergraduate students present their finished projects at the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference (MURC), one of BC's largest undergraduate research conferences. The 2022-2023 REX program saw the participation of over 110 mentors and 350 undergraduate applicants. This program provides enthusiastic Science undergraduates with a low-barrier and accessible avenue to engage with research early in their academic careers, a valuable opportunity that many may otherwise not be able to experience.
