The Louthan Lab at KSU is seeking summer field REU students to participate in field work at Konza Prairie Biological Station in Manhattan, KS. Applicants should be comfortable working in a team setting outside in hot, humid conditions while traversing uneven or rocky terrain. In addition to field work, applicants will work together to design their own research project, which they will complete during the summer. 

This is a great opportunity for undergraduate students seeking field work and research experience in plant population ecology. Technicians will learn field work skills, plant identification, data management, and experimental design and execution. They will interact with faculty and grad students throughout the summer. 

The field season will run from mid-June through mid-August, and technicians will receive a stipend of $6600. Housing for this position is not provided.
