Undergraduate & Graduate Training

• The Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, with funding from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, anticipates openings for students in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program during the summer of 2025.

Students will work with research teams involving other undergraduate and graduate students. Students also develop and conduct an independent research project. Many REU students continue their work as an independent study or senior honors thesis at their home institution. Some have even published in major scientific journals. In addition, through weekly presentations given by the mentors and other scientists, students are also exposed to a full spectrum of ecosystem research at Hubbard Brook.

The program runs from late May to mid-August. Students receive a stipend for the 10-week program, as well as housing. Limited funding is available for research supplies and travel expenses. Students live at Hubbard Brook Research Foundation’s researcher housing adjacent to the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, among a community of summer field students and technicians. All residents are expected to share and cooperate with cleaning, cooking, and related chores.

Details for specific REU opportunities and application instructions will be posted here late-January to early-February, with a deadline of mid-March.
