The Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station is now accepting applications for our Odum Internship in Field Ecology.
This 8-week internship pairs students with the Preserve’s Senior Research Fellow for original research in field ecology. Students typically engage in a small independent projects and are expected to collect and analyze data and to present their results at the Preserve’s Annual Science Symposium. This is an unpaid internship though housing is provided.
The Huyck Preserve is a non-profit organization dedicated to preservation, education, and research. As one of the oldest biological research stations in the United States, the Preserve has supported research continuously since 1938.
More information about the internship and application instructions.
The deadline for applications is Friday, March 14, 2014.

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) - Arctic LTER
The Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory is seeking undergraduate applicants for several Arctic research projects. Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) positions are available to U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents only who are currently enrolled as undergraduates at U.S. colleges or universities (no graduating seniors).
Successful candidates will participate in field research on either terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems in the Toolik Lake Research Natural Area on the North Slope of Alaska.
In addition to gaining experience by assisting on a variety of project activities, REU students typically engage in a small independent project that is linked to larger studies of lakes, streams, tundra or land-water interactions. REU participants are expected to collect and analyze data and to produce a poster describing their project near the end of the field season.
We anticipate funding for support of at least two REU positions during the 2014 field season, both in association with the Arctic LTER project.
Candidates for these jobs should be available to live at Toolik Field Station for 8-10 weeks during June, July and August. Travel to Toolik Field Station is paid for by grant funds as well as the cost of room and board at the station.
Applicants should have completed basic coursework in biology, chemistry and ideally ecology or ecosystem studies. Attention to detail and a desire to learn new laboratory and field techniques are essential. Applicants should be in good health, capable of rigorous outdoor activity, and prepared to live in a field camp where cooperation with others is essential, personal privacy is limited, and living accommodations are spare and simple.
