The Vermont EPSCoR Undergraduate Internship Program offers students the opportunity to participate in current research conducted through the Basin Resilience to Extreme Events (BREE) program. Undergraduates will be matched with a research team working on the transdisciplinary BREE research program. In the spring following their internship, research teams will meet at a Symposium in Vermont to share their discoveries through an oral or poster presentation of their research. Students will do full-time, authentic research for 10 weeks in one of the following areas:
- Lake and Stream Ecology
- Climatology
- Water Chemistry & Microbiology
- Soil Nutrients
- Land Use Management
- Environmental Policy & Management
- Computer Programming
Students majoring in any social science or natural science field should take a look at the 2017 project listings: http://epscor.w3.uvm.edu/2/node/3436
The range of research areas in which students may participate is quite extensive. BREE interns delve into research projects -an opportunity not often available during the academic year. Projects are markedly different from most course-based work in that they are open-ended and part of a much larger research program.We strongly encourage students from traditionally underrepresented groups, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and students from two year colleges to apply.
