Deadline:
We invite applications for an NSF-funded REU program. This summer program is part of the New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute, an exciting initiative focused on how plant organismal systems (plant roots and shoots) relate to one another and how those relationships influence and are influenced by plant communities and the soil ecosphere. REU participants will conduct research, participate in the broader institute through in-person and virtual meetings, and will join a near-peer mentoring scheme in which they work closely with graduate students, postdocs, and professors to achieve research, training, and diversifying goals.
Location: University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Kansas Biological Survey
Time Frame: 10 weeks from May 30 through August 4, 2023.
Eligibility: Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Students who have already graduated with a four-year degree are not eligible. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.
Benefits: REU interns receive $6000 stipend for the program, and food and lodging if needed.
Submissions due February 15, 2023 and selections will be made by March 15.
