SURES Recommendation Letters

Purpose

The Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies offers funded opportunities for Summer Undergraduate Research in the Environmental Sciences. Students will spend 8 weeks during the summer of 2025 conducting research, analyzing data, and writing up their results with the mentorship of a YIBS-affiliated faculty member at Yale University. Projects may be developed into a senior thesis or scientific publication, depending on student interest. Research activities will be supplemented with a light curriculum oriented towards building research capacity, including responsible conduct of research, statistics in R, scientific writing, and applying to graduate school/funding. In addition to their own project, on-campus participants will learn about the broad range of YIBS research through lab tours and discussion groups, along with behind-the-scenes tours of the Yale Peabody Museum collections. Occasional evening and weekend outings will introduce students to the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Greater New Haven region.
