Spend your summer on Lake Erie

Last week we posted about several paid summer research internship opportunities at locations where Ashland science students have been accepted in the past.  Here is one more local field biology opportunity that has been very popular with our students.

Stone Laboratories is The Ohio State University's freshwater research and teaching facility on Gibraltar Island across from Put-In-Bay.  It is the oldest freshwater biological field station in the country, founded in 1895.  The lab has announced a number of summer opportunities including:

• A Research Experience for Undergraduates program that pays you to conduct research and take a class at Stone Labs while providing room and board.  This year's projects include invasive goby work, Lake Erie birds, water snakes, and nutrient loading. The application deadline is February 20th.
• The lab has posted two job opportunities for Summer Student Positions and a Biological Field Station Assistant Position.  Application deadline is March 6th.
• Stone Labs also hosts several courses each summer.
