Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Warm-water Aquatic Ecology
Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, USA
Summer 2012: May 20 to July 29
http://wilsonlab.com/reu/
We are excited to invite applications from undergraduate students to
participate in a National Science Foundation supported summer
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program focused on the
ecology of southeastern ponds, rivers, reservoirs, and
estuaries. Ten undergraduate students will work closely with Auburn
University faculty (Fisheries, Biology, and Forestry) to explore
aquatic ecosystems, complete a student-driven research project, and
share their research findings in a symposium at the conclusion of the
program. Participants will work closely with our mentors to develop
projects on a variety of disciplines, including community ecology,
limnology, evolution, fisheries management, population modeling,
conservation, molecular biology, and microbiology. The program will
run from May 20 to July 29, 2012 (10 weeks). To stay up-to-date
with the 2012 selection process and to learn about last summer's
program, check us out on Facebook -
