The Rutgers Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (RAD) Collaboratory in collaboration with the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) invite Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate students to participate in the RAD Collaboratory Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program.

The goal of the RAD SURF program is to provide Rutgers-New Brunswick rising junior and senior undergraduate students with opportunities to participate in hands-on, in-person research projects in artificial intelligence and/or data science during summer 2025. The program will run for ten weeks, from May 27, 2025 to August 1, 2025, and will include relevant programming, networking, and social events.

The RAD SURF program will be conducted in coordination with the Rutgers Aresty Research Center’s Summer Science Program with oversight by the RAD Collaboratory and the OVPR.

Each RAD SURF Fellow (Rutgers-New Brunswick rising juniors/rising seniors) will receive a $6,000 stipend. The OVPR will pay for on-campus student housing (as required). Rutgers Housing is available for selected Fellows for the duration of the program, with a move-in date of May 27, and a move-out date of August 1.  This housing would be at no cost to the selected Fellows.

Applications to be considered as a RAD Collaboratory Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow must be submitted to the Rutgers Aresty Research Center’s Summer Science Program application portal (click here to apply) and are due on 11:59 pm EDT on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. Applications will be reviewed by the RAD Collaboratory Executive Steering Committee, the OVPR, and Faculty Mentors. All applicants will be notified by Friday, April 11, 2025.
