Bradley University in Peoria, IL is host to an REU site. Undergraduates will participate in an intensive, 10-week program in ecological research that integrates multiple disciplines and approaches. Students will develop independent and collaborative research projects in areas of their interest through collaboration with mentors. Participants will gain experience in molecular, physiological, organismal, community and ecosystem approaches to address real environmental problems along the Illinois River Corridor. Previous research has included forest and wetland ecology, invasive species, river ecosystem health, and the effects of land-use change on soil and plants. Participants will receive training in techniques necessary to carry out their research, as well as engage in weekly talks about broader scientific topics and ethical practices. Projects will culminate in a final report and presentation of results at an end-of-summer scientific colloquium.

Students will receive a $3,500 fellowship stipend, $1,000 food stipend, free on-campus housing, and travel funds. Minority and female students are strongly encouraged to apply. More information is available by contacting Dr. Sherri Morris at sjmorris@bradley.edu.

The program runs from June 8-August 14, 2009. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MARCH 2, 2009. Successful applicants will be notified by April 3, 2009.
