The Johnson Laboratory here at the University of Colorado is actively seeking ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� undergraduate students to gain research experience and get PAID ($2,000-3,000) this summer. We are looking for independent, self-motivated undergraduate students who are passionate about pursuing research in aquatic ecology and conservation to apply for funding provided by UROP at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��.

See for all details on application.

Interested contact Dana @ dana.calhoun@colorado.edu by February 8th.

Include in a well-developed email: your GPA, previous professional experiences (no experience is required this is learning opportunity), year you are in school, and why you are interested in UROP (i.e., how this position would benefit you in achieving your career goals).
Please also include your current CV as an attachment.
Please put the project name in the subject line of the email.

Currently we are exploring the following three projects for summer UROP positions:

1. Diversity and Disease (FIELD): this project aims to understand how interactions among species within an aquatic community collectively influence pathogen transmission and disease risk. Students interested in this position will be station out in the Bay Area of California from May-mid August. Students will work as part of our amphibian field team in which they will use field and lab techniques (dip nets, seines, visual surveys, pathogen swabbing, snail dissection, data entry) to monitor and assess amphibian populations.

2. Bd vaccine development (FIELD): this project aims to understand if Bd resistance be induced in wild populations of hosts within an aquatic community. Students interested in this position will be station out in the Bay Area of California from May-mid August. Students will work as part of our amphibian field team in the first half of the summer in which they will use field and lab techniques (dip nets, seines, visual surveys, pathogen swabbing, snail dissection, data entry) to monitor and assess amphibian populations. The second part of the summer will primarily focus on assisting a Phd candidate in assess Bd in experimental ponds by swabbing larval and adult amphibians.

3. Parasite disease in amphibians (LAB): this project aims to understand how interactions among species within an aquatic community collectively influence pathogen transmission and disease risk. Students interested in this position will be working in the Johnson Laboratory here at CU starting in May through beginning of August. Students will work as part of our amphibian necropsy and husbandry team in which they will dissect various amphibians to test for various pathogens—like the trematode that causes frogs to grow multiple legs!
