Jumpstart your research career
Here at Duquesne it is our joy to provide you with hands-on research opportunities. Each summer, students from Duquesne and universities nationwide apply to join the Undergraduate Research Symposium (URP). During this 10-week summer program, you'll:
- Conduct research in areas like chemistry, biology, pain research, and neurodegeneration.
- Explore diverse science-related fields and career paths.
- Participate in community engagement projects and ethics education.
- Present your findings at an on-campus research symposium.
- Engage with faculty members, industry professionals, and fellow researchers.
By the end of the program, you'll have established meaningful connections within the scientific community and with your peers. The 2025 URP will take place from May 19 to July 25. Applications open in December!
The School of Science and Engineering undergraduate research program (general URP)
is an exclusive opportunity for Duquesne University undergraduates within the School
of Science and Engineering. Applicants will be chosen based on their academic achievements,
previous lab experience, and potential in their respective fields. The program offers
undergraduate research positions in various disciplines, including biochemistry, biology,
chemistry, computer science, data science, engineering, environmental science, forensic
science and law, mathematics and physics. The Integrated Computational and Experimental Chemistry NSF-REU Program welcomes applications
from undergraduate students majoring in biochemistry and chemistry. This program is
made possible through the collaboration of the U.S. Department of Defense's Awards
to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Education (ASSURE) program and the
National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) program. Join Duquesne University's Pain and Neurodegenerative Undergraduate Research Experience
(PURE and NURE) programs for a 10-week summer residency in biomedical research focused
on pain and neuroscience. You'll receive free on-campus housing and a competitive
stipend. The program offers an integrated ethics course, professional development
workshops, and monthly journal club discussions where you’ll collaborate with faculty,
students, and clinicians to review primary literature. Additionally, you'll gain valuable
insights into the personal and practical challenges of pain management from those
living with chronic conditions. Are you interested in applying for Duquesne's URP? Featured content
