Hello again,

 

This is the second of two emails regarding research opportunities at ORNL.

 

Applications are being accepted for student internship opportunities during the summer 2017 term at ORNL. http://science.energy.gov/wdts/suli/.   Applications are due Jan 13, 2017.

 

These internships are fully supported (very competitive salary) to foster undergraduate participation in research being conducted at ORNL. Included is a housing allowance for students >50 miles from home. Typically, this is provided to augment existing research projects while providing opportunities for collaboration for students, but also their faculty advisors.

 

Projects within our group include long-term biological monitoring, aquatic ecology, mathematics, impacts of energy development, instream flows, hydrology, statistical and geospatial analysis, climate-change science, conservation, aquatic contaminants and toxicology, urban ecology, energy-water-nexus, and large-scale spatial ecology. 

 

Typically these internships lead to development of research products, including publications.  Additionally, it provides students with valuable experience on their resumes.

 

If you know of a motivated and skilled undergraduate that would like to participate in this opportunity and if you have ideas for collaboration, please contact me. 

Sincerely,

 

Ryan A. McManamay, Ph.D.
