Here's an exciting new opportunity to participate in estuarine or marine science in the Mid-Atlantic Region!
Rising sophomores interested in marine and estuarine science are invited to participate in laboratory and field based research mentored by faculty of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and the Paul S. Sarbanes Coastal Ecology Center. The 10-week research experience funded by the National Science Foundation provides students a $4500 stipend, free room and board, and a supply budget for research with an advisor. Groups under- represented in the sciences are especially encouraged to apply. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is located on the historic southern peninsula of Delmarva. The school supports well-funded programs in marine and agricultural science and maintains state-of-the-art laboratories, equipment, and a fleet of boats and university vehicles. The REU program (2 June – 7 August 2009) will provide interns experienced mentorship in research and scholarship, a chance to improve verbal and written communication, and experiential field trips, while also working within the laboratory of a research faculty advisor.
