We are seeking three qualified undergrads and two qualified graduate students to participate in a field-based research expedition to study biodiversity, ecology, and evolution in selected plant groups in South Africa. The field portion will extend over about 5 weeks from ~July 20-August 24, and will involve research at 4-5 different field sites where students will conduct independent projects and will participate in group projects. Students will also be expected to enroll in a weekly seminar (1 credit during Spring semester of 2010) covering both cultural and scientific background, to be held on the UConn Storrs campus. Travel, lodging and field expenses will be paid for by a grant from the National Science Foundation for International Research Experiences for Students.
This will be the third such trip we have made to South Africa and a number of UConn undergrads and grads have participated in the past.
Interested students should submit /transcripts, resume/ (with contact information), /one //letter of recommendation/ (in a sealed, signed envelope), and /a cover letter/ that describes previous research experience, previous international experience (if any), a list of relevant courses, and a brief statement /explaining why you are interested in this experience/.
Please submit application materials by *November 2* to *Carl Schlichting*, U 3043, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut.
Students interested in participating in the course are encouraged to contact Carl Schlichting for more information before application materials are due.
