University of North Florida
REU Program in Coastal and Marine Biology
Applications due – 3/20/17
The UNF REU Program offers paid
research training experiences in Coastal Biology to 10 undergraduate students
during a 10-week period from early June-late July. REU participants are
paired with Coastal Biologists at UNF and the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National
Estuarine Research Reserve (GTMNERR) and conduct mentored research projects
related to their advisor’s expertise. Prior to this, students will
complete a 1-week orientation on performing research in Coastal Biology to
prepare them for their directed research projects. Students will also
gain experience in science communication by presenting the results of their
project at a departmental-wide research poster mini-symposium.
Participants will attend research seminars and workshops on career skills in
science. Students may also have the opportunity to present their research
findings at professional conferences.
The 2017 program will take place over 10 weeks during the summer, from
May 22 - July 28, 2017. Dates are subject to change. Students must be available
for the entire duration of the program.
