Mote REU Program
Notice: All of our 2010 REU positions have been filled. We will likely begin taking applications for the summer 2011 program in January.
Since
2003, Mote Marine Laboratory has been a host site for the National
Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Program. The Mote REU Program offers paid research training experiences
in estuarine science to 10 undergraduate students during a 10-week
period between late May and early August. REU participants are paired with Mote scientists and conduct mentored
research projects related to their advisor's expertise. Students
gain experience in science communication by presenting the results of
their project in a manuscript-style research paper and orally at a
laboratory-wide research symposium. Participants attend research
seminars and workshops on career skills in science. Students may also have the opportunity to present their research
findings at professional conferences.
Note:
All students who are offered a position at this REU Site have until
March 15th or later to accept or reject the offer. This REU Site is
funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences,
and the cognizant Program Director for all OCE-funded REU sites is Lisa
Rom at elrom@NSF.gov or 703-292-7709. |
