Subject: Please post/announce: Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates - Tucson, AZ


Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for the mass mailing and for cross-listings.  Below is an announcement for an REU positions in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona.  Also attached is a flier for the position.  We would appreciate it if you would please post or route to undergraduates in your department. Alternatively, if you could email me the name of the person who coordinates the relevant undergraduate programs in your department I'll contact them directly.

REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) is a National Science Foundation-sponsored program wherein undergraduates receive a stipend to conduct independent summer research projects under faculty guidance and mentorship.  The School of Natural Resources and The Environment at the University of Arizona has an opening for an REU scholar for the summer of 2013.  The REU scholar will work with Dr. Steve Archer and Dr. Dave Breshears and with collaborators at New Mexico State, Loyola University-New Orleans and the University of Kentucky examining how plant litter decomposition in deserts is influenced by interactions between radiant energy and wind and water redistribution of soil.  In addition to their own investigations, REU scholars will participate in controlled environment studies on the UA campus; and in field studies at the Santa Rita Experimental Range just south of Tucson.  For more details on the project and application procedures, see http://ag.arizona.edu/research/archer/news.html

Thanks,

Steve
