Research Experience for Undergraduates 2012
Assessment and Sustainable Management of Ecosystem Services
The University of Arkansas is conducting a 10-week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) this summer for up to 20 undergraduates who have completed at least three semesters of coursework. The program specifically aims to provide opportunities for Native American students, but all interested students are encouraged to apply.
This REU focuses on field-based research on ecological service and is an ideal opportunity for students preparing for graduate school in ecological, biological, and/or engineering fields. Students work with faculty mentors on projects ranging from water quality to Ozark bird ecology and sustainability studies.
The 10-week program begins May 20, 2012 and consists of an Ecosystem Services Immersion Course, a 7-8 week Research Experience, and an intensive program on Data Analysis and Symposia. Room and board at the University of Arkansas in addition to a $400 weekly stipend and travel allowance are included with admission to the program.
