Sealab’s REU '19 program taking apps

The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, funded by the National Science Foundation, returns to the Dauphin Island (Ala.) Sea Lab (DISL) from May 27-to-Aug. 2, 2019. The 10-week program gives undergraduate students the chance to dive deeper into the field of marine science and gain first-hand research experience. The program offers a range of research opportunities with internationally recognized faculty. The opportunities for research include benthic ecology, fisheries and marine mammal ecology, toxicology, and biological, chemical, and physical oceanography. Students who complete the program come away with a strong knowledge base on how to design and conduct a research project, produce a scientific poster, and publish results. From the field to the lab, REU students participate in a series of career building seminars from how to prepare a CV and apply to graduate school to entering the workforce and managing work-life balance. DISL’s Research Experience for Undergraduates is accepting applications for the May-August 2019 season. Application deadline is Feb. 15, 2019. (Source: DISL 11/2018)
