At Carnegie Mellon, the integration of education and research is pervasive throughout our institution. In this environment, our students are empowered to discover their passions, advance their ideas and understanding, learn and create new knowledge and art, make a positive impact through their efforts, and realize their own full potential.
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholar Development (OURSD) is a key resource for students to engage fully in their CMU experience through research and creative pursuits and to explore options such as competitive national and international fellowships as they prepare for their own personal and professional success.

As a part of the Office of the Vice Provost for Education and reporting directly to the OURSD Director, the Scholar Development Coordinator will provide crucial administrative and programming support to the Director and Associate Director in both the undergraduate research and fellowships advising domains.
