About us
While carrying out their research, REU students will be given the opportunity to acquire basic research skills, learn analytical techniques, develop data interpretation, and presentation proficiency. REU participants will benefit from a series of workshops on professional skills, and attend lectures by outstanding visiting speakers. Participants may earn up to 8 academic credits for the experience with prior approval from their home campus.
Potential research areas include the ecology and early life history of marine and estuarine fishes, plant-animal interactions in seagrass beds, marine microbial ecology, estuarine nutrient biogeochemistry, benthic ecology, trophic interactions and carbon budgets in marine ecosystems, life history and biomechanics of marine invertebrates, and phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology.
The selected students will be provided stipends of $5,000 for the full-time 10-week program. In addition, students will be provided on-campus housing and a good allowance. Students from outside the Mobile, Alabama area can apply for limited travel assistance (up to $500.00)..
