About this opportunity

The NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site, funded since 2002, is geared towards providing opportunities o students interested in the cellular and molecular biology of plants through next generation technologies. The program is especially interested in exposing students from two- and four-year colleges with limited research infrastructure to the excitement and career options that studies of plant and plant pathogen biology offers, but students from all colleges are welcome to apply. The program is sponsored by the UC-Riverside Center for Plant Cell Biology (CEPCEB) which, in association with the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB) and other college departments, includes many faculty that study plants, plant pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes),
