The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to explore the world of biomedical research.

A wide variety of projects are available to UROP students including those in basic biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, bioengineering and bioinformatics. UROP projects differ each round and generally offers biomedical research positions in wet and dry labs (such as in the fields of computational science, engineering and mathematics, among others) and/or a combination of both.

UROP is open **ONLY** for Victorian undergraduate students **who are interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research **and:

- are enrolled in STEM and other related degrees;
- have the ability to manage time commitments between work and study and maintain a high standard of academic performance; and
- have the ability to work alone and with others.

**Location**: Various host organisations in the Melbourne area (including Parkville and Clayton) and surrounds (not necessarily in CSIRO).

**Stipend/Salary**: Minimum $24.15/hour

**Tenure**:6 to 12 months, tenure to begin at the start of student’s winter vacation, working a minimum of two weeks full time. Students are also required to work during semester 2 at least** **8 hours per week.

**Reference**: 96004

**Eligibility**:
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program is open to **undergraduate** students who are:

- Australian or New Zealand citizens, permanent residents or who have an existing visa with valid working rights for the duration of the term
- enrolled and placed at a Victorian tertiary institution
- available to start work during their winter vacation and continue working at least 8 hours per week during semester 2.

Please note:

- students doing a standalone honours semester during their placement are not eligible to apply; and
- placements will be in various host biomedical research organisations in the Melbourne area and surrounds and depending on the host organisation, provision of a valid working with children’s check for employees will be required.
