Undergraduate Research Opportunities
C2B2 maintains a network of principal investigators (PIs) and research teams at CU, CSU, CSM and NREL.  Undergraduates interested in performing research in a field related to bioenergy and biofuels may contact faculty directly in order to pursue part time employment or hands-on laboratory research experience.

It is the student’s responsibility to identify an investigator or research field of interest and make contact with PIs in order to request and/or pursue an employment opportunity. Students should be prepared to provide PIs with relevant information related to prior academic course work and laboratory research experiences.
