The Population Biology of Alpine Insects, Plants, and Their Interactions 

Undergraduate positions have been filled for summer 2020. Please check back next year.

​

Research will take place in the Canadian Rocky Mountains from mid-July until late August. Students should be prepared for hard work, living away from home with others for an extended period, and field duties requiring long hikes at altitude under extreme conditions.

Students will stay at the University of Calgary's Biogeosciences Institute at Barrier Lake. Room, board and a stipend will be provided for participants. The biology student will provide their own board and airfare from their stipend. Preference will be given to students wishing to persue undergraduate research projects potentially requiring additional participation.

 

To Apply

Applicants should submit a transcript (unofficial is OK), two letters of reference (preferably one from a person who can comment on your academic ability and one from someone who can comment on your work ethic), and a cover letter. You will be called for an interview, if deemed a viable applicant. In general, students should have a GPA > 3.3.

 

Applications can be made to Dr. Matter (mattersf@uc.edu, 731i Rev.)
