Mortara Undergraduate Research Fellows (MURFs)

The Mortara Undergraduate Research Fellowship is a four-year research apprenticeship program. Five to six first-year School of Foreign Service (SFS) undergraduate students are selected in the spring semester and paired with a faculty mentor to gain hands on experience as a research assistant working on advanced research methods and projects. By supporting faculty research initiatives, fellows gain the necessary skills to carry-out their own independent research in their junior and senior years.
