Internship - Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program - Fall 2019

An REU internship at BIOS is a great way to gain the experience necessary to embark on graduate studies or careers in the marine and atmospheric sciences!

BIOS has National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) funding to support undergraduate student researchers at BIOS during the fall semester. Students will conduct independent projects under faculty and staff supervision within several research areas including:

  • Biology, chemistry, and physics of the open ocean
  • Biology, physiology, and biochemistry of reef building corals and reef ecosystems
  • Molecular biology of marine organisms
  • Environmental chemistry of Bermuda's atmosphere and inshore waters
  • Effects and consequences of global environmental change

Funding includes return air travel to Bermuda, campus accommodation and meals. Each successful REU applicant will also receive a competitive stipend.

In 2019, REU students will arrive at BIOS on August 25 and depart on November 16

Throughout the semester, REU students will give presentations that outline their research topic, methods, and results, including a final presentation to BIOS faculty, staff, and visiting students. REU students will also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of field and boat excursions to learn about Bermuda's natural history, as well as career development workshops and seminars given by BIOS faculty.

Further information on the REU program at BIOS can be found via the external link, including eligibility, application instructions, online application form, past student testimonials and details of the potential projects that students may apply to work on in 2019.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Completed at least one year of undergraduate study
Will still be enrolled as an undergraduate in the fall of 2019
U.S. citizen or permanent resident        

The application deadline is May 31st, 2019

We urge all successful applicants to arrange for independent study credit through their home institutions.
Underrepresented groups, and students attending colleges or universities where research opportunities in STEM are limited, are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants are ineligible if they have participated in a prior NSF-funded REU in Ocean Sciences
