The Johnson Laboratory at the University of Colorado is actively seeking applications for undergraduate student positions for this summer field season. We are looking for independent, self-motivated undergraduate students who are passionate about pursuing research in aquatic ecology and conservation. Currently we are exploring the following project:
1. Global change and aquatic ecosystems: In collaboration with the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, this project is focused on lakes and reservoirs along the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Broadly, we are working to understand the short and long-term effects of climate change, nitrogen deposition and invasive species on biological interactions within these systems. Check out the following websites: http://www.colorado.edu/mrs/home http://www.colorado.edu/eeb/facultysites/pieter/index.htm To Apply: To apply for undergraduate research experience send an application package that should include (i) a cover letter that states the project you are most interested in, previous professional experiences, and why you would like to work for the Johnson Laboratory (ii) a current CV (iii) and (iiii) and potential start date.
