The University of Wisconsin – La Crosse is excited to announce our Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Mathematical Ecology this summer (June 6 – August 12). A team of mathematical, biological, and federal scientists will be mentoring two groups of four students each, with the following projects:
*Modeling and Analysis of the Indiana Bat Subject to Multiple Extinction Stressors*. Leaders: Eric Eager (Math) and Richard Erickson (U.S. Geological Survey) and *Combining Empirical and Theoretical Approaches to Better Understand the Persistence of Waterfowl Disease in the Upper Mississippi Rive*r. Leaders: James Peirce (Math) and Gregory Sandland (Biology) If you are aware of any students that would be interested in this REU, please have them check out the following webpage for instructions on how to apply. Room, board, a $5000 stipend, travel to and from the site, as well as travel to a conference to present the results of this work are included as a part of the program. The priority deadline for applicants is March 1, with the firm deadline being March 15. https://www.uwlax.edu/Mathematics/Summer-2016-REU/ -- ************ O__ ---- Richard Erickson, PhD c/ /'_ --- Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (*) \(*) -- US Geological Survey ~~~~~~~~~~ - La Crosse, WI 54603
