Pymatuning Lab of Ecology Summer Undergraduate Research Program

The Pymatuning Lab of Ecology Summer Undergraduate Research Program is a nine-week residential research experience for University of Pittsburgh undergraduates interested in ecology and evolutionary biology. Participants work with faculty mentors on semi-independent research projects, attend a research workshop, weekly journal club and cohort meetings, and present a research talk and report at the end of the program. The program includes faculty-mentored field and lab work across projects in ecology, evolution, and freshwater biology. No prior research experience is required and first-time undergraduate researchers are encouraged to apply.

Nine weeks residence at the field station with free room and board, $3,000 stipend, faculty mentorship, research workshop, weekly journal club, cohort meetings, and final presentation and research report.

Open to University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) undergraduate students interested in pursuing research toward a career in ecology or evolutionary biology.
