I have a paid undergraduate intern position available in my lab this summer - on a project using automated behavioral phenotyping to explore how environment influences the behavior of aquatic invertebrates.
Using state-of-the-art experimental methods, the student will conduct laboratory experiments to test how temperature, light, turbidity, micro-plastics, and/or pH influence the movement, behavior and interactions of aquatic invertebrates, which play important roles in wetland ecosystems. The internship starts with a week-long short course at NGRREC’s field station in East Alton, IL. Nine weeks later, students will present their work in a professional, two-day Intern Symposium attended by their peers, research advisors, and other professionals. To apply students must submit a general application at http://www.ngrrec.org/Apply/ and will need to list my project as their preferred option PROJECT #4 Using automated behavioral phenotyping to explore how environmental drivers influence the behavior of aquatic invertebrates, with implications for wetland conservation More details about the program can be found at http://www.ngrrec.org/Internship/, or you can email me directly.
