The Department of Biology at Duke University invites applications for seven
positions in an undergraduate research program in Bioinformatic and
Phylogenetic Approaches to the Study of Plant and Fungal Biodiversity.

Applications to participate in Bioinformatics and Phylogenetics will be
accepted from sophomore and junior undergraduates. The focus of the ten-week
summer program will be a full time research project with an integrated
research team of graduate students and a faculty mentor in the Department of
Biology. The seven faculty who will serve as mentors this summer have active
research programs ranging from the Tree of Life initiative to reconstructing
species-level genealogies, and within species and population-level
genomic-based biology of plants and fungi.  The research environment at Duke
offers state-of-the-art facilities, including world-class research
collections of plants and fungi, a diverse living reference collection of
plants and cultures of fungi and algae, the Duke Biology Genetic Analysis
Facility, and the experimental setting provided by the Duke Forest,
including the Forest-Atmosphere Carbon Transfer and Storage (FACTS-I) site
and the Mycological Observatory.

Three types of activities will enrich the participants' ten-week research
experience:  (1) a two-day orientation; (2) a twice-weekly
seminar/discussion series; and (3) a research forum for presenting the
summer's results and conclusions.  The intention is to provide a supportive
environment to the students as they progress through the summer, as well as
to reinforce the image of science as an interactive enterprise. Duke
University has a history of successful undergraduate summer research
programs, especially those that provide training experiences for women and
minorities.  For further information and application materials, please
contact Dr. Paul Manos at pmanos@duke.edu or (919) 660-7358, or visit
