Summer Research Opportunity for Undergraduates in Physiological Genetics
and Evolution
We are currently accepting applications from undergraduates who live
or attend college in EPSCoR jurisdictions (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas,
Delaware, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Vermont, Virgin Islands, West Virginia, or Wyoming) to participate in a
National Science Foundation-funded summer research program in genetic,
physiological, and evolutionary mechanisms of temperature tolerance in
Drosophila from May 30 – July 31, 2022. Students will join a laboratory
at one of our five participating institutions, The University of Kentucky,
University of Vermont, Providence College, Salve Regina University, or
University of Nevada Las Vegas, and work in teams on research projects
that will include both field and laboratory components as well as training
in data analysis and visualization. No prior research experience is
required; all you need is a year of college-level biology coursework,
enthusiasm for biology, and a desire to engage with the exciting process
of scientific discovery.
To find out more and to apply, please visit
thermofly.org and fill out
the online application form. Members of traditionally under-represented
groups in STEM are particularly encouraged to apply. We will begin
reviewing applications on March 1.
