Warm-water Aquatic Ecology Summer Research Experience at Auburn University

This REU program is a novel, collaborative effort involving Auburn University faculty mentors specializing in diverse but complementary disciplines, including community ecology, fisheries management, aquaculture, evolution, limnology, molecular biology,  microbiology, invasive species, fish behavior, outreach, physiology, parasitology, and conservation.  Together these disciplines provide the education basis for undergraduate students to learn about techniques and tools to study aquatic communities, specifically warm-water systems such as reservoirs, farm ponds, streams, and brackish estuaries.  The primary objectives of this project include exposing participants to different scientific hypotheses, research techniques, and ecological habitats and conditions in an engaging, interdisciplinary atmosphere that fosters a strong interest in aquatic sciences by the next generation of water experts.

All REU students are fully supported during their experiences at Auburn University, including a $5,500 stipend, travel support to and from Auburn University, research funds ($500), and food and lodging in Auburn University dorms for the entire 10 week program (May 17 to July 26, 2020).

Eligibility: All applicants who are interested in receiving NSF support must currently be

•  U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or permanent resident
• an undergraduate freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior graduating no earlier than September 2020 or a high school senior that will start their undergraduate education the following fall semester after the REU program. 
• We are especially encouraging students from traditionally under-represented groups in biology (i.e., African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders, students with disabilities, first generation college students, and U.S. veterans) as well as students from institutions with limited research opportunities (e.g., community colleges) or students in financial need to apply.

Though partnerships among the  Raptor Research Center at Boise State University, the Boise State University Department of Biological Sciences, The Peregrine Fund, Inc., Intermountain Bird Observatory, College of Western Idaho, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, undergraduates will spend 10 weeks conducting field and/or laboratory research under the guidance of research mentors from academia, government agencies, and NGOs.

Students participate in a core professional development program that includes focus on endangered species restoration, responsible conduct of research, animal care, applying to graduate school, the publication process, and communication in science. The summer research experience for REU-RR participants culminates with a statewide interdisciplinary summer undergraduate research conference (ICUR) that provides participants the opportunity to communicate their work to a multidisciplinary audience of students and scientists. REU participants also have opportunity to attend the annual meeting of the Raptor Research Foundation during the fall semester to present their research, and where five previous REU-Raptor Research students have been recognized with William C. Andersen Memorial Award for best student posters.

Program Dates for Summer 2020 are: 18 May –  24 July

Applications for summer 2020 are now open and will close on February 10, 2020. Please know that REU-Raptor Research welcomes your application.
