2018 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program at BIOS
8 x FULLY FUNDED MARINE, OCEANOGRAPHIC AND ATMOSPHERIC UNDERGRADUATE
INTERNSHIPS
The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) has received funding from
the National Science Foundation (NSF), for the Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Program (http://www.bios.edu/education/reu/), to
support eight internships for undergraduate student research at BIOS
during Fall 2018 (arrive August 26 and depart November 17, 2018).
An REU internship at BIOS is a great way to gain the experience necessary
to embark on graduate studies or careers in the marine and atmospheric
sciences.
Funding includes return air travel to Bermuda, accommodation and meals.
Each successful REU applicant will also receive a competitive stipend.
This program provides recipients with the opportunity to design and
conduct intensive, hands-on research projects - under faculty supervision
and mentorship,
within several research areas including:
• Biology, chemistry, and physics of the open ocean
• Biology, physiology, and biochemistry of reef building corals and
reef ecosystems
• Molecular biology of marine organisms
• Environmental chemistry of Bermuda's atmosphere and inshore waters
• Effects and consequences of global environmental change
Further information on the REU program at BIOS can be found here
(http://www.bios.edu/education/reu/), including eligibility, application
instructions, online application form, past student testimonials and more
detail on potential projects that students may apply to work on in 2018.
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
Completed at least one year of undergraduate study
Will still be enrolled as an undergraduate in the fall of 2018
U.S. citizen or permanent resident
The application deadline is May 31st, 2018. We urge all successful
applicants to arrange for independent study credit through their home
institutions.
Underrepresented groups, and students attending colleges or universities
where research opportunities in STEM are limited, are especially
encouraged to apply.
Students having participated in an Ocean Science REU are normally
ineligible.
Please don't hesitate to contact us should you require additional
information on BIOS's REU program or other BIOS education programs.
