REU Summer Program in Convergence Ecology at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale
Application Website: http://www.ecology.siu.edu Application Deadline: March 1, 2014
Stipend: $5,000.00 + research support and lodging
Start Date: June 2, >2014
Here is a website of summer projects:
http://www.ecology.siu.edu/pages/reu.html
This NSF Site REU offers diverse opportunities to study ecology resulting from an
extraordinary combination of SIU faculty research programs in southern Illinois, a
distinctive physiogeographic region where prairie, forest, wetland, floodplain, and river
systems converge. This program will provide research opportunities for 10 undergraduate
students under the guidance of faculty mentors associated with the Center for Ecology.
Participation in this REU program will introduce students to ecological research tools
used to study populations, communities, and ecosystems. Research areas include ecological
pattern and variability, organismal response to environmental degradation, population and
community response to restoration, and conservation of managed and natural systems. The
goals of this REU program are to foster (1) hands-on scientific inquiry through research,
(2) development of a diverse ecological skills-set through guided quantitative field and
laboratory methods,
(3) comprehension of and confidence in communicating science through weekly reading and
discussion,
(4) a broad awareness of ecological science through weekly seminars, and
(5) a better understanding of biodiversity (to include human culture) through educational
field trips to local natural and cultural areas.
The program will culminate with The Colloquium of Undergraduate Research in Ecology (The
CURE).
Requirements: Applicants must not have graduated before summer 2014 and must be a U.S.
citizen.
