There will be two openings for research in my group for Spring 2023 through the URAP program: https://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/programs/urap.html with grad students Akshat Tripathi and Maggie Verrico. Applications are due October 6th.

You can find other open research positions in Astronomy through the Astronomy Research Portal.

IDEAS applications will be in Spring 2024, depending on funding availability.

If you are interested in Astronomy research as a UIUC undergrad, here are some opportunities you may be interested in:

• The office of undergraduate research has a variety of programs and resources here: https://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/programs/explore.html
• On-campus research opportunities are often posted to this site: https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/6204
• URAP (Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program) has a call every Fall (typically October) with research positions: https://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/programs/urap.html
• NSF (National Science Foundation) REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) programs: There are many REU programs which host summer research opportunities (list here: https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/list_result.jsp?unitid=5045). These programs will typically have mid-winter deadlines. Astrobites has some useful advice here: https://astrobites.org/2013/01/05/so-you-want-to-apply-for-an-reu-heres-how/
• There are also many organized non-REU summer programs (community-maintained list here: https://www.astrobetter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Summer+Internships).
• NASA internships are advertised for both Summer and semester positions (full or part time): https://intern.nasa.gov/. There are several different ways to find a NASA internship, through the OSTEM office, as a PATHWAYS intern, or as an international intern.
