Research Internships in Plant Ecology, beginning January 2010
Ideal for Students with Undergraduate Degrees Contemplating Graduate School
Includes independent research project.
Provides Stipend, Room, and Board.
Internships at Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida.
Research in the plant ecology laboratory of Eric Menges emphasizes
conservation biology, plant demography, restoration ecology,
fire ecology, landscape ecology, and fire management. We
study many species of endemic vascular plants in endangered Florida
scrub and related communities. Active fire management provides
outstanding opportunities for short-term comparative studies in fire
ecology. Our long-term (22-year) datasets on dozens of scrub plants
gives context to short-term, focused, field projects.
Interns receive room, board, and a weekly stipend of $100. They work
hours per week as research assistants and the remainder on an
independent research project. Internships generally run for 6-12 months
but are flexible in their starting dates and durations. Internships
offer an opportunity for experience in every aspect of scientific
research, from project choice and experimental design to oral and
written presentations.
Archbold Biological Station is active in research, conservation, and
education. Our facilities include a 5000 ha preserve, an outstanding
regional library and a GIS lab running ARCINFO. We have a staff of about
50 with many visiting scientists, an active seminar program, and a
relaxed biological station atmosphere.
