Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) 2000 Program
Konza Prairie Natural Research Area

We anticipate offering 10 REU positions to highly-motivated
undergraduates interested in obtaining summer research
experience in the ecological sciences.  The research will take
place at the Konza Prairie LTER site, on ecological projects that
can range in scope from physiological to ecosystem-level studies,
from aquatic to terrestrial systems, and from environmental history
to biogeochemistry.  The positions include a stipend, 2 college
credits, student privileges, and funds to cover housing, research
needs, and travel to attend a national research meeting.  The
Konza REU program is from 29 May to 12 August 2000.  Students
will be selected on the basis of academic records and diversity of
interests and background.  The application deadline is 4 February
1999.

Interested students may access application materials and
more information at http://climate.konza.ksu.edu/general/reu.html.
