The University of Texas Marine Science Institute REU Program is accepting
applications for our summer research opportunity for undergraduates. Our
program is looking for eight talented undergraduates who are dedicated,
detail-oriented, hardworking and interested in marine science.
Our program offers research in the areas of fish physiology and ecology,
ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemistry. The program begins with a research
cruise on the R/V Katy, ten weeks of research, seminars and workshops,
culminating in a symposium where the students will present their
accomplishments. Student projects take advantage of the wide variety of
coastal habitats near the Institute, including shallow bays, hypersaline
lagoons, seagrass beds, estuaries, mangroves, and marshes. It is a great
opportunity to gain valuable research experience and spend a summer by the
sea!
We will be accepting applications until March 7, 2014. Required
application materials include an online application, unofficial transcripts,
professor recommendation forms and recommendation letters from two
professors. Students must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate and be
U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and its possessions.
Students will receive a stipend of $5,000 for the ten-week program, full
room and board, a research allowance and a travel allowance. The program
runs from June 2nd - August 8th, 2014. Interested applicants can check out
our website at http://reu.utmsi.utexas.edu, or contact Dr. Deana Erdner or
Dr. Ben Walther at utmsi....@gmail.com
