New Roots for Restoration REU at the University of Kansas

The University of Kansas Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology/Kansas Biological Survey is recruiting students to participate in Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) opportuniites in Summer 2025. The REU opportunities are part of the New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute, a National Science Foundation funded initiative whose overarching focus is how plant organismal systems (plant roots and shoots) relate to one another and how those relationships influence and are influenced by plant communities and the soil ecosphere. REU participants working at the University of Kansas will conduct research (described below), participate in the broader institute through in-person and virtual meetings, and will join a near-peer mentoring scheme in which they work closely with high school mentees, graduate students, postdocs, and professors to achieve research and training goals.

Location and time frame: This REU opportunity takes place at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS and runs for 10 weeks from May 26th through August 1st.

Eligibility: Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Students who have already graduated with a four-year degree are not eligible. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.

Benefits: REU interns receive $6000 stipend for the program, and food and lodging if needed.

Apply Here

Submissions due March 1, 2025 and selections will be made by March 31.

Job Description: The RaMP-UP Tropical BioDiversity Fellowship is a one year paid research experience with Smithsonian Scientists and a cohort of peers in the tropics. RaMP-UP Fellows spend a year engaged in BioDiversity studies with Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) scientists. You will be embedded in the tropical landscapes of Panamá, practicing cutting-edge and rigorous methodologies to make a lasting impact on Tropical BioDiversity. This is a program for post-baccalaureates (from US and territories) who graduated within the last 4 years from a U.S. accredited university.

Come away with a robust research experience, scientific products, an international professional network, a peer network, and strong mentors to advocate for your career. Applications for the 2025-2026 program will open on January 15, 2025 and close March 16, 2025. Get a stipend of $32,000 for a full year of participation. A roundtrip ticket to Panamá and lodging while at Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute facilities is included.

2025 Recruiting Interns, Hubbard Brook and Bartlett Forests

Undergraduates seeking research experience in forest ecology are invited to apply for a 10-week expense-paid internship in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

About the project: MELNHE (Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems) is the longest-running N by P factorial fertilization study in a temperate forest anywhere in the world. Since 2011, we have been conducting nutrient manipulations in 13 stands in Bartlett Experimental Forest, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, and Jeffers Brook. The MELNHE project presents many opportunities for short- and long-term research. More information is available at https://www.esf.edu/melnhe/, including a blog from previous field crews.

Internship Description:  Interns will be guided in the design of their research projects and will interact closely with graduate students and senior research scientists from SUNY-ESF, Cornell, University of New Hampshire, and Miami University. Interns will gain a wide variety of skills by assisting in all ongoing projects. Interns have the opportunity to present their results at the annual Hubbard Brook Cooperators Meeting in July.

Possible research topics include:

Stem mapping: Tree locations can be used to assess competition and to interpret the effects of tree size and species on many of  the variables we measure, such as soil respiration, root biomass, and herbaceous plants. Our current MELNHE stem maps need to be updated to include the most recent ingrowth (tagged during tree inventory in 2023). Experience with ArcGIS would be helpful but is not required.

Experimental beech leaf disease treatment and monitoring: This project includes applying treatments to selected beech trees and monitoring their canopy condition. Treatments are centered around testing the ability of phosphite and potassium to mitigate BLD symptoms, either as they arise or after being established.

Measuring soil respiration: Soil respiration in our plots has been increasing steadily since 2012, and these trends are not explained by increasing temperature. If photosynthesis is increasing in response to elevated CO2 but carbon is not stored as biomass and is instead respired off, this is important to global carbon budgets.

Work days typically begin at 8:00 and end at 4:00, but may be shorter or longer depending upon the day’s activities. Interns are provided with shared housing near Bartlett Experimental Forest. A stipend of $200 per week is provided for living expenses. Food is prepared communally by the interns and graduate student researchers, and costs for groceries average $6-7 per day. Mileage to and from sites will be covered at the federal mileage reimbursement rate, but initial transportation to NH will not be covered.

Desired Qualifications:  Ideal applicants will have a strong interest in forest biology, ecology, biogeochemistry, or geospatial analysis. Undergraduate students and recent graduates will be considered. A positive attitude is important and a sense of humor is a plus. Willingness to work and live in a communal setting is critical. Candidates should be able to perform repetitive tasks with attention to detail in a field setting under adverse conditions. Applicants should be flexible in their expectations, but an estimated breakdown of the summer is: 60% fieldwork, 15% lab work, 10% data management, and 15% research proposals and reports of independent projects.

To Apply:  Please send one pdf file including your statement of interest, resume, and contact information for three references to Erica Albertson and Sara Sternick (Yanai.forestecology.lab@gmail.com). Your statement of interest should include a ranking of the three research topics. We will begin interviewing selected applicants in early March and will continue to accept applications until the position is filled. The field season will begin on June 1 and ends on August 15; let us know if your availability differs from those dates.
