Hi all,

Brooklyn College and the City University of New York are now
accepting applications for our 2024 summer REU in Urban Ecology and
the Environment (BUEE), which will run this summer from June 3 through
August 9.  BUEE offers an integrative summer research program aimed at
developing early-career undergraduate students into mature and thoughtful
environmental scientists - many of our research projects have a strong
evolutionary focus, and investigate how plants and animals adapt to
urban environments.

BUEE couples authentic research experiences together with
practical experience in research design, scientific communication
and community outreach, leveraging the unique academic and
research resources at Brooklyn, including a state-of-the-art
Aquatic Research and Environmental Assessment Center
<http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/academics/centers/areac.php>,
CUNY's Advanced Science Research Center <https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/>
and the interdisciplinary Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica
Bay <http://www.srijb.org/>, focused on urban sustainability and
resilience.  Students are provided with a competitive stipend, housing
and food allowances, and relocation credit for travel from outside the
region. Applications from STEM-underrepresented students are especially
encouraged.

More information on the program, including potential projects, can be
found at the program homepage at https://buee.brooklyn.cuny.edu, or
by contacting the program PI at bu...@brooklyn.cuny.edu.  Application
materials should be submitted via the BUEE homepage before March 1.

Please spread the word, and share the program with early career
research-oriented students interested in learning more about ecology
and evolution in an urban environment.

Best,

Tony Wilson, BUEE PI
