Summer Research in Marine Biology
Physiology and Cell Biology of Marine Organisms
The Fort Johnson Summer Research Fellowship Program is a ten week program combining formal classroom work with independent research in areas of crucial concern for marine biologists today. The program is designed to provide undergraduate students with a modern research experience employing physiological, cellular and molecular techniques to address questions in areas such as environmental bioindicators, algal physiology, acid-base physiology, respiratory physiology, immunology, population genetics, and evolutionary biology of marine organisms. Up to 10 fellowships are awarded each year through the cooperative efforts of the marine laboratories at Fort Johnson and supported by a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site award from the National Science Foundation and the Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) Program of the Department of Defense.
The application deadline for the Summer 2009 program is February 19, 2009.
