The Quantum Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (QUROP) supports undergraduate students doing research in the broad area of quantum science.

Written on July 7, 2021.

Summer research fellowships are available for UCI undergraduate students under QUROP. The program is aimed at students with some prior research experience who plan to continue an intensive, faculty mentored research experience in quantum science over the summer. The fellowships are typically for 10 weeks, with a commitment of 20 hours per week. However, the total time commitment is flexible and should be appropriate for the proposed project. The award amounts are flexible and dependent on...
