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. The deadline to apply is Friday February 12, 2021.

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.

Purdue University will be again hosting an undergraduate summer research program in digital agriculture in 2021 supported by a USDA REEU grant. We are optimistic that we will be able to have an in-person experience, but will fall back to virtual again, if necessary. This will be the third year of this program.

Information about the summer internship, how to apply, etc. can be found at the URL below:

https://ag.purdue.edu/digital-ag-resources/undergraduate-summer-research-program-in-digital-ag/

Applications are due midnight Monday, Feb 8, 2021

Students will learn to:

• understand application program interfaces (APIs) well enough to collect data and wrangle data into informed decisions
• perform proper statistical analysis and be able to communicate process and results
• understand the industry opportunities in agri-business data science

The project will address a variety of the AFRI farm bill priority areas with focus on Cyberinformatics and Tools for Food and Agricultural Data Analysis and Data-Driven Applications (FACT). With the intellectual focus on digital agriculture and data analytics, we will introduce algorithmic thinking in basic elements, and will empower those students to integrate different concepts into their own research area and to communicate that effectively.

The Purdue Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR) will facilitate housing for interns, social activities, and tours of agricultural research centers.

The DOE Scholars Program introduces students and recent college graduates to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) mission and operations.
