Muser

The window to post research opportunities for Summer 2026 runs from February 2 – February 13.

Muser provides Duke students with regularly-scheduled, clearly articulated, and equitable access to research opportunities across all fields. Research mentors are members of the entire Duke University research community who can provide meaningful research experiences for students. Mentors are graduate students, postdocs, lab technicians, research team leaders, principal investigators, and professors.

Muser runs at least four rounds per year: start of the fall semester for fall positions, mid-fall semester for spring semester positions, spring semester for the following fall semester positions, and spring semester for summer positions.
