UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
SUMMER 1998

ANNOUNCING

The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia will sponsor six
undergraduate research fellowships during the summer of 1998, through the
National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Programs for Undergraduates
(REU).  The Academy's REU program is dedicated to training students in
research based on the Academy's world-renowned collections in botany,
ichthyology, ornithology, entomology, malacology, and paleontology.
Research staff at the Academy work in systematics, natural history,
evolutionary biology, and ecology.

The program offers a diverse array of research experiences, which will
include field trips, workshops, and seminars.   Each student will  work on
a project with an Academy scientist.  Example research areas include:
revisionary systematics or taxonomy of a group of organisms, evolutionary
and systematic studies using morphological or molecular techniques,
biogeography, aquatic ecology, and the history of natural science.
Students planning graduate study and careers in systematic and evolutionary
biology will find the REU program especially valuable.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must be entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year of
college.  Participants must commit to full participation in the 10-week
program, which runs from May 31 to August 7, 1998.  The Academy will pay
for travel to and from Philadelphia, housing, and expenses for supplies,
field trips, and research.  All students will live in a dormitory adjacent
to the Academy of Natural Sciences in the heart of the Museum district of
Philadelphia.  Each student will receive a stipend of $250 per week.
