Student Summer Research Opportunity

Paid Summer Research Opportunity

In partnership with the Big Ten Academic Alliance, the University of Maryland is hosting a paid Summer Research Opportunity Program for undergraduate students. The 2022 cohort will join Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade for a seven-week residential research experience at UMD (covid circumstances allowing), working with project partners to learn methods for data-informed historical research, develop a dataset to be published in the Journal of Slavery and Data Preservation related to history of enslavement and the recovery of enslaved lives in state of Maryland, and share their findings with academic and public audiences, as well as learn more about opportunities for further study in graduate school. Students at HBCUs in the Maryland area are also encouraged to apply. Applications are due Feb. 10. Additional information and the application link are available at https://gradschool.umd.edu/summerresearch.
