Undergraduate students who are interested in doing research about environmental systems or sustainability can apply to do the Research Experience for Undergraduates program with the University of Arkansas. Students will make $5,500 over the course of the summer and get free room and board, plus a travel allowance.

The EcoREU focuses on field- and lab-based research in areas such as water quality, sustainability, biofuels, agroecosystems, and more. Projects are supervised by university professors and vary from year-to-year based on the most current work conducted at the University of Arkansas and partnering universities.

During the 10-week program, students will get a crash course about ecosystem services, conduct research with help and guidance from their advisor, and learn how to analyze their data and share their results with peers and other researchers.

The Blandy Experimental Farm provides an Undergraduate Research Fellowship to students interested in ecology and environmental science. The primary goal is to teach students to formulate testable hypotheses about important ecological and evolutionary questions. The format of the program encourages students to develop skills in experimental design, data collection, analysis, and critical reading of primary scientific literature. Students also learn to prepare and communicate scientific information to other scientists and the general public.

Application deadline: February 15, 2020

Applications are now being accepted for the Summer REU Program in Marine Science at the University of Delaware, an NSF-Funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.

Interns will work with faculty in a research-intensive setting on a research topic in chemical, physical, or biological oceanography, marine biology or marine geology. In addition to hands-on research experience, student support includes a $6,400 stipend, campus housing, and travel assistance.

Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences, this REU program supports ten undergraduate students to conduct research in marine science.  The program will take place at the University of Delaware’s Hugh R. Sharp campus in the beach community of Lewes, located on the shores of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

More information and the application can be found on our website. You may also be interested to hear directly from former interns, or see one of our field trips on the R/V Daiber on the Delaware Bay.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU):

Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention (EESPP-REU)

Program Dates: May 29 to August 9, 2019 (10 weeks plus 3-day orientation)

Website: http://www.buffalo.edu/reu

Application Deadline: March 15, 2019, with rolling application review

Applications are being accepted for the summer 2019 Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention REU at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB). The EESPP-REU, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, provides undergraduates an opportunity to conduct faculty-mentored, laboratory, field, or modeling research on pollution prevention projects. This will be the 10^th annual summer REU offering at UB.

EESPP-REU students receive one-on-one mentoring in the conduct of environmental research, focused training in environmental and professional ethics, GRE training, and exposure to a variety of research methods. The program includes weekly group meetings to share research progress, and culminates with a symposium where students present research findings in oral and poster formats. Additional funding is available for REU participants to attend national conferences to present their research results. To network with faculty and peers, students attend fieldtrips throughout western New York, Niagara Falls, and the lower Great Lakes region.

REU participants receive a $5,250 stipend and free on-campus housing in a LEED-certified student complex. Participation is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and students must be enrolled as undergraduates in a college program through Fall 2019 (graduating seniors are ineligible). Eligible students interested in environmental/civil/chemical engineering, environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, or geography are encouraged to submit an online application. Application instructions, faculty mentors and projects, and more information can be found   at http://www.buffalo.edu/reu. Students from underrepresented groups or attending institutions lacking research facilities or opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.

The State University of New York at Buffalo is a research-intensive public university, a flagship institution in the State University of New York system and its largest and most comprehensive campus. UB’s more than 29,000 students pursue their academic interests through more than 300 undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs.
