There is a brand new research program for undergraduates starting this summer at UH. Get in touch with the program coordinators, or faculty sponsors with questions!
The quick advertisement follows, but see the project website here for more detail.
Participants in the Summer 2016 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program will take advantage of high-throughput DNA sequencing and phylogenetic methods to study the identity and origins of Hawai?i’s native, endemic and invasive organisms. REU participants will be mentored by a diverse faculty from the departments of Biology, Botany, and Microbiology, the Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, and Kapi‘olani Community College in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.The 10-week REU summer program provides participants with stipends of $5,250, and covers the costs of accommodations, food and travel to Hawaii. This unique experience allows participants to gain hands-on research experience, providing an excellent stepping stone for future graduate studies.Applications for Summer 2016 are due March 15, 2016. Please visit the program website for further information and to apply.Questions can be addressed to program coordinators Dr. Stuart Donachie (donchie@hawaii.edu) and Dr. Stephanie Kraft-Terry (kraft2@hawaii.edu).
