The Department of Biology at Duke University invites
applications for seven
positions in the second year of 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 visit
http://www.biology.duke.edu/reu.  The application deadline for
the 2005 program is March 11.
