Research staff at the Academy work in systematics, natural history, evolutionary biology, and ecology.
REU Projects for the Summer of 2004 June 7-Aug. 13, 2004
Biological Informatics - Development of the Algae Images Website Scientist mentors: Dr. Don Charles & Kathleen Sprouffske
Phycology Section activities focus on ecology and taxonomy of freshwater algae, particularly diatoms. We seek to better understand the distributions of algal taxa throughout the U.S., and the environmental factors influencing both the occurrence of taxa over large scales and the composition of assemblages at individual sites. To that end, we have created the Algae Image Database (http://diatom.acnatsci.org/AlgaeImage) containing light micrograph images of diatom taxa from rivers throughout the USA. Youwill have a chance to further develop the capabilities of the Algae Image Database, including: modifying the existing web application and database so that the algae images are immediately available on the website after they are identified, incorporating hundreds of existing non-diatom images, generating dynamic maps indicating the distribution of taxa, and potentially interrelating the Algae Image Database to the references maintained as part of the Diatom Herbarium. This experience will give the student researcher an opportunity to learn about and participate in the development of biological collections and ecological databases and web applications. The researcher should have excellent computer skills. Familiarity with biology, HTML, databases, and any high-level programming language is helpful.
Eligibility
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enrolled in a college or university (i.e., entering your sophomore, junior, or senior year after completing our summer program). Participants must commit to full participation in the 10-week program, which runs from the first full week of June until mid-August. The Academy will pay for travel to and from Philadelphia, housing and expenses for supplies, field trips, and research. All students will live in dormitories or apartments adjacent to the Academy of Natural Sciences in the heart of the Museum district of Philadelphia. Each student will receive a stipend of $350 per week.
To Apply
We are currently accepting applications for the Summer of 2004! Applicants should send:
1) A one-page letter of intent stating career goals and how this experience will help meet these goals. In your letter please describe any prior research experience you may have had and indicate a first and second choice of project from those listed below. Also provide your address, phone number, and e-mail address. Optional: if you feel you are a member of an underrepresented group (e.g., based on ethnicity, disability, geography, age, etc.) you have the option of indicating this in your letter.
2) an official transcript; and
3) two letters of recommendation.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Friday March 12, 2004 for letter of intent, with statement that all other materials are on their way.
Send applications to: REU Coordinator Academy of Natural Sciences 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway Philadelphia, PA 19103

Subject: Graduate Research Assistant Opportunity at West Virginia University
West Virginia University Geography is currently searching for a remote sensing Graduate Research Assistant starting Fall 2004. The student will assist Tim Warner and Duane Nellis with the West Virginia View consortium (www.wvview.org), a state-wide consortium of institutions that have a focus on remote sensing. Excellent communication skills are very important for this position. Although a PhD student would be preferred, MA students will also be considered. The position includes a competitive stipend and a tuition waiver. Current remote sensing research at WVU includes remote sensing of invasive species using high resolution imagery and lidar, and also investigations of the spatial properties of images. Please contact Tim Warner at tim.warner@mail.wvu.edu or 304-293-5603 x 4328 for further information. Tim Warner's web pages
