Applications are now open for our NSF funded Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program, Models in Evolution, Ecology and Systematics. The program will take place May 22-July 28 2017 in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas. In this ten week program, students will participate in mentored, independent research and receive training in research support skills. "Models" is broadly interpreted to include not only building of theoretical models, but also testing of models (empirical work). More information on projects is available at http://eebreu.ku.edu.
Students will be provided with a generous stipend, housing and meals, and travel to the program. Review of applications begins February 15, 2017 and will continue until all positions are filled. Students must have completed one semester of college level work (including community college), must plan to be enrolled in an undergraduate program during the fall of 2017, and be US citizens or permanent residents. Biology, math and computer science majors are encouraged to apply. Former students have been highly successful at continuing on to graduate school and obtaining the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Review of applications begins February 15 and will continue until all positions are filled. Questions may be addressed to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
