RE: 2025 Call for RMP Mentors

 

The UCSB Research Mentorship Program (RMP) is seeking graduate students, postdocs, and researchers for a paid mentorship opportunity this summer.

RMP is a highly selective and competitive summer program that engages qualified, talented high school students from all over the world in interdisciplinary, hands-on, university-level research. We are seeking mentors who can guide students through a research project in STEM, humanities, social sciences, or education.

 

RMP is offered during the first half of the summer (June 16 – August 1, 2025)

  • Project Pitches: scheduled on June 16 – June 18, 2025

  • Research Mentorship: June 23 – July 29, 2025

  • Research Symposium: July 30 – August 1, 2025 

Mentor Stipend: $1,300 per project per student

  • Prospective Mentors may submit up to 2 projects (up to 2 students per project for a compensation of up to $5,200).

  • The proposed project must have a hands-on component (lab, field, computational, theory, archival, primary source analysis, etc.).

  • RMP students are highly qualified and expect to work independently; however, Mentors must meet mentees regularly to guide students through the project.

Please note:

 

  • Our students are well-prepared -- they have taken advanced high school and college courses, and have extensive programming, lab, and primary source analysis experience.

  • Mentors may be employed up to 100% over the summer.

  • The deadline to submit project proposals is June 1, 2025. However, space is limited! Mentor applications are accepted and approved on a rolling basis.
