I write to invite you to apply for our summer undergraduate research program in Risk Analysis for Introduced Species and Genotypes at the University of Minnesota.
We are recruiting a select group of undergraduates to conduct summer research with our faculty and graduate students. This program provides support and unique opportunities for undergraduate students. We strongly encourage applications from persons of under-represented minorities. Many pressing questions currently face the scientific and policy communities regarding introduced species and genotypes. I invite you to review some of the critical research projects that you could help with as a summer researcher. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to prepare for graduate school or to polish your skills in preparation of a career in environmental science or policy. If you plan to graduate later than the summer of 2008 you are qualified to apply. To learn more about this summer opportunity and how to apply please visit our website. Note that the Life Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Programs indicates a 15 February application deadline. We will consider applications until 15 March. If you have difficulties applying after 15 February please let me know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I will facilitate your application. Our program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation as a part of their Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program. IGERT trains scientists and policy workers to address the global questions of the future. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or to chat about our summer program for undergraduate students.
