BTI Plant Genome and Programmable Plant Systems REU Applications Now Open!

You can find our 2025 REU poster here. You may also head to https://btiscience.org/education-outreach/research-internships/ to learn more about the program and how to apply! Feel free to forward this email to anyone you think would be interested or colleagues who could help spread the word. 

 

We host two REU programs: our Plant Genome REU and Programmable Plant Systems REU through the Boyce Thompson Institute on Cornell University’s campus in Ithaca, NY. We are using NSF’s ETAP application portal, making it easier for applicants to apply to both our programs and other REU programs nationwide. 

 

This is a paid 10-week educational research opportunity with a $7,000 stipend, free housing on Cornell’s campus, up to a $700 travel reimbursement, and an $850 meal stipend. Our program runs from June 2, 2025, until August 7, 2025.  We host a series of professional development opportunities for the students throughout the summer, including sessions in science communication, bioinformatics, and STEM graduate and career pathways. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in research or STEM careers who want to continue building their research and professional skills and tap into a more extensive network of plant scientists and engineers. Applications are due February 1, 2025.
