The application
deadline is February 15, 2013. The full-time, 10-week program will
start May 20 and run until July 26. Participants will receive a
stipend of $5000 plus accommodations with kitchen facilities in university
housing, and help with travel expenses to and from Atlanta.
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 NSF-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.
The research theme of Aquatic Chemical Ecology is broadly
interpreted. There are 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.
