Warm-water Aquatic Ecology
Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, USA
Summer 2013: May 26 to August 4
http://wilsonlab.com/reu/
We are excited to invite applications from undergraduate students to
participate in a National Science Foundation supported summer Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program focused on the ecology of
southeastern ponds, rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries. Ten
undergraduate students will work closely with Auburn University faculty
(Fisheries, Biology, and Forestry) to explore aquatic ecosystems,
complete a student-driven research project, and share their research
findings in a symposium at the conclusion of the program. Participants
will work closely with our mentors to develop projects on a variety of
disciplines, including community ecology, limnology, evolution,
fisheries management, population modeling, conservation, molecular
biology, and microbiology. The program will run from May 26 to August
4, 2013 (10 weeks). To stay up-to-date with the 2013 selection process
and to learn about last summer's program, check us out on Facebook -
