Hello, I am accepting applications from undergraduate students interested in a summer internship in plant ecology. This is an REU position at UCSB in the Levine lab.
The selected student will work with Jonathan Levine and myself on a study examining germination strategies and seed banks of 70 native annual California plant species. The purpose of the project is to determine how life-history strategies of native plants impact their ability to survive and persist in human-altered environments and under different climate change scenarios. The selected REU student will be involved in field work at field sites in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, the central valley and northern Napa and will work at the UCSB greenhouses, examining seed banks from soil cores collected from throughout California. The position also includes an independent project component. If you are interested please send a cv or resume along with a letter of interest by April 7 to: Margie Mayfield at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will send more details about the project and the position to interested individuals. Thanks, Margie Mayfield
