Registration for RMBL's 2012 undergraduate research program is now open at:
www.rmbl.org/education <http://www.rmbl.org/education>
I encourage people on Ecolog to forward this email to students that
might benefit from the program.
Each year RMBL matches approximately 40 students with mentors from
around the world. Students have opportunities to work on a wide array
of ecological and evolutionary field projects. Additionally, students
have the opportunity to supplement their research project with
additional training in field ecology, wildlife biology, or botany. RMBL
provides REU funding for approximately 10 students. RMBL also makes
available additional scholarships. Consequently financial need should
not preclude students from applying.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students thinking about a career in
the sciences. RMBL is located in Gothic, Colorado, a stunningly
beautiful location in the Rockies. Because we host approximately 100
graduate students and senior scientists, undergraduates have an
opportunity to learn about graduate programs from around the world.
Many undergraduates end up as co-authors on scientific papers and start
building professional networks that foster their career across a
lifetime. We have had many undergraduates turn their summer research
into a senior thesis project, even though they have not necessarily had
someone from their school present at RMBL during the summer.
Our program does fill. Consequently we encourage strongly motivated
applicants, or applicants who need financial support, to submit their
online application by March 4.
