We will be hosting 9 NSF-REU participants
this summer at
Georgia Tech
focusing loosely on the theme of Aquatic Chemical Ecology. We would like
to ask for your help in publicizing this program to undergraduates that
you know.
Our program website is
program/reu/
including program details, application process, and contact information.
The application deadline is February 1, 2010. At that time we will work
with faculty mentors to select participants, and will offer students
places in the program starting mid-February. The full-time, 10-week
program will start in late May and run until the end of July.
Participants will receive a stipend of $4500 plus accommodations with
kitchen facilities in university housing, and help with travel expenses to
and from Atlanta.
Students can go to our website to get more information and to apply. Any
U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is currently enrolled in an
undergraduate degree program is eligible, unless they have already been
part of an REU program in Ocean Sciences or unless they will graduate
before this summer. We are particularly interested in increasing our
proportion of minority students and in reaching students at non-PhD
granting universities.
As in the first 5 years of our REU program, the research theme of Aquatic
Chemical Ecology is broadly interpreted. We have 3 core areas of research
for students to choose from: Biological and geochemical transformations of
chemicals in aquatic ecosystems; Sensory biology and ecology of aquatic
chemical communication; Ecological roles and consequences of chemicals in
aquatic environments. This program is an excellent choice for
undergraduates majoring in any field of biology, chemistry, earth/ocean
science, civil engineering, environmental engineering, chemical
engineering, and related bioengineering areas who want to apply their
classroom learning to an interdisciplinary research environment to solve
complex scientific problems and learn about the importance of chemically-
mediated processes.
We hope that you can send us your bright, curious, and motivated students!
