Biology Education Research Opportunity for Students in Spring 2026 – Apply by September 19

submitted by bankers@augsburg.edu

Dr. Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright (“Dr. B”) in the Biology Department is looking for two undergraduate students to work with her on an education research project focused on enhancing student personal interest in biology. The main tasks consist primarily of watching biology instructors teaching classes and using coding tools to classify behaviors and discourse related to teaching in each video, with an estimated workload of 80 hours total over the semester. The two students would collaborate closely with each other and Dr. B. Funding will be provided through academic year URGO funding (if available and awarded), so interested students must be eligible for this funding. If you are interested, please click on the link below for more information and to access Dr. B’s research application (due no later than 5pm on Friday, September 19th).
