Posted in: Opportunities
An REU Site at Rutgers University-Newark provides students with hands-on research experiences in dynamic urban environmental systems. The site takes advantage of a vigorous multidisciplinary effort that involves near surface geophysics, urban geochemistry and urban ecology in northern New Jersey and especially, the New Jersey Meadowlands. Each scholar will choose one area of specialization but the research and support activities will be integrated to show students: 1) how their research experience relates to the whole urban research project, 2) how their research affects real-life issues that affect them and their families and 3) how they can pursue research careers stemming from this experience.
DUESS REU fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend and free housing at Rutgers University-Newark for the 8-week program (6/4-7/27/18).
Please complete the DUESS REU application form and submit by February 20 if you wish to apply.
Areas of Research
