How does community composition of algae and microbes relate to rates of nitrogen cycle processes? There will be opportunities to conduct field work in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, participate in undergraduate research workshops, and present research results to the Michigan Tech community and possibly at a national conference. The candidate must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and enrolled as an undergraduate student in Fall 2018. The REU is expected to last 10 weeks (start/end date negotiable but should occur between June 1 and August 31 2018) with a total stipend of $5,000 and an additional $1,000 to offset the cost of summer lodging, which is available on campus at Michigan Tech.
