The Wright lab at Duke University will be hiring an REU student to work on our project investigating the effects of the invasive grass, Microstegium vimineum, on native ecosystems. The student will develop an independent project that is nested within a larger collaborative project between Duke, Indiana and the University of Florida. Possible topics include investigating the effects of the invasive species on native plant biodiversity or arthropod communities across a range of invasion intensity.
The program will start on May 22nd and last 10 weeks and we will provide a stipend.
If you are interested, please send your CV, a letter describing your interest in the project, and the names and contact information of 2 references to Justin Wright (jw67@duke.edu).
