Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Program at the University of Virginia's Blandy Experimental Farm

Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Program at the University of Virginia's Blandy Experimental Farm! An excellent opportunity to conduct ecological research during the summer of 2023.

The program emphasizes experimental, field-based approaches to a wide variety of topics such as plant-animal interactions, pollination ecology, landscape ecology, and ecosystem ecology.  Successful applicants will receive a stipend, additional money for food, and free housing.  Each student is matched with a research mentor from our pool of faculty members and graduate students and then conducts an independent research project.  The students will gain experience in experimental design, data collection, analytical techniques, and written and oral presentation of findings.  REU students also benefit from several professional development workshops and research community activities throughout the program.
