Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Are your students looking for summer research opportunities? Please post, forward, or tell your students about the 2014 Nebraska Summer Research Program housed on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The program offers students an excellent opportunity to hone research skills and to experience life as a graduate student. Students will enhance their academic resume, work closely with faculty and peers, and have fun with social and professional development activities, all while receiving numerous benefits. Students historically underrepresented in graduate education are especially encouraged to apply. Due to funding restrictions, participation is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. All programs for 2014 are listed at http://www.unl.edu/summerprogram and include projects in Applied Mathematics, Bioenergy Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences/Water Resources, Minority Health Disparities, Nanohybrid Materials and Algal Biofuels, Redox Biology, and Virology. Our online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review of applications begins Friday, February 1 and all applications are due by Monday, February 17. Sincerely,  Maggie Jobes Summer Research Program Director Assistant Director of Graduate Recruitment  Office of Graduate Studies University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Summer 2014 REU opportunity

ANNOUNCING: Summer 2014 REU opportunity focused on Terrestrial-aquatic linkages in urban impacted ecosystems at Kent State University and The Holden Arboretum

Kent State University and The Holden Arboretum invite applicants for a 10-week summer research training program. Students enrolled in this program will conduct mentored research into the importance of terrestrial-aquatic linkages in the ecology of urban-impacted ecosystems. This research will be designed to examine how human activities such as urbanization, industry, farming, mining, and recreational activities affect the way terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems interact. Projects might compare sites with and without urban impact to examine: nutrient cycling in soils and streams, microbial community composition in forest soils and stream sediments, plant-soil interactions, how shredders modify terrestrial leaf litter input to stream ecosystems, the effects of terrestrial pollutants on aquatic microbial community structure and function, how terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemical cycles are affected by human activities such as acid precipitation and land-use change. Along with learning about hypothesis generation, project design, and ethics in research, students will receive additional training archiving data in a geospatial database and will participate in weekly seminars.

Participants will be provided housing, a meal allowance, and a $500/week stipend.

Students must have good standing at a community college, college or university and be a United States citizen or permanent resident. Members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

Deadline for applications February 17, 2014.
