Kansas State University (K-State) invites applicants for a 10-week REU
Summer Program. The focus of the program is on the mechanistic
understanding of ecological and evolutionary responses to short- and
long-term responses to changing environments. Research projects will
address biological patterns observed in changing environments by
examining underlying genetic, developmental, physiological, or
ecological mechanisms. The program is hosted by the Ecological
Genomics Institute, Konza Prairie Biological Station, and the Division
of Biology at K-State. Over 30 faculty from the Division of Biology
and Departments of Entomology, Geography, and Plant Pathology will
serve as potential mentors. Participants will learn modern approaches
in ecology and evolutionary biology, attend professional development
seminars, travel to important ecological sites and genomic centers in
Kansas and Missouri, and have two opportunities to present their
research. The program covers costs of accommodations and meals.
Participants will also receive a generous 10-week stipend. The
deadline for applications is the 1st of March 2012. More information
is available by visiting http://www.ksu.edu/reu or by contacting the
PIs (Dr. Bruce A. Snyder and Dr. Theodore J. Morgan) at
