Plant Biology Internships at CornellUniversity The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) at CornellUniversity and Boyce Thompson Institute is sponsoring undergraduate summer internships in Ithaca, New York. Interns will be mentored by a graduate student or post-doctoral associate and will work with their mentors on a project related to plant genomics. They will learn the latest in molecular biology techniques, and depending on the lab, may also participate in fieldwork. Please visit our website http://bti.cornell.edu/pgrp Applications can be downloaded from the website and are due postmarked by March 1, 2006 Field/Laboratory Assistantship Opportunity in Wetlands Ecology Our NSF-funded project entitled, "Phosphorus Transformations in Forested Floodplains", seeks to involve undergraduate students from historically minority-dominated colleges or universities located near our fields sites (SC, NC, GA, VA), in our research. Our overall goal is to understand how floodplain forests influence phosphorus (P) concentrations in adjacent aquatic ecosystems (rivers and streams), by investigating the mechanisms responsible for P retention when river waters enter a floodplain during flooding. Therefore our investigations include floodplain and river water quality, as well as sedimentation rates, soil processes, and vegetation dynamics. To apply for this position or if you have questions about the position please contact: Dr. Megan McGroddy, megan.mcgroddy@mail.wvu.edu or (304) 293-5201
YaleUniversity, New Haven, Connecticut Undergraduate and graduate students in biology, entomology, ecology, and epidemiology are being recruited to assist in a large-scale field-based study on Lyme disease in the U.S. Applications consist of a statement of interest and previous relevant experience, a resumé, and the name of a faculty member willing to provide a reference upon request. Applications should be sent to usticks@yale.edu no later than April 1, 2006, but positions will be filled on an ongoing basis so early applications are encouraged. For more information email usticks@yale.edu or visit our website: http://publichealth.yale.edu/vectorbio/fish/usticks/ HumboldtStateUniversity (HSU) We offer a 10-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Research opportunities include everything from the ecology of bacterial populations in hot springs at Lassen Volcanic National Park, to bat physiology in redwood stands at Redwood National Park! REU in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology: Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) will begin a Cancer Research Training Program from June 5, 2006 to July 28, 2006. We are accepting applications for this paid internship from graduate students. All applications must be postmarked by Saturday, March 25, 2006. The overall goal of the MSM Summer Cancer Research Program is to establish a cancer research training and career development program that will encourage interest and facilitate student training in the area of cancer research. Through their attendance and participation in designated seminars, workshops, and mini-courses, students will be able to enhance their knowledge, scientific techniques, and expertise in the areas of cancer and cancer research. Participants in these activities will become stronger candidates to continue for advanced degrees in the field of cancer research and to progress to be independent investigators.
