Fall Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) Program at Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (ASU BIOS), a unit of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, has funding from the National Science Foundation, (NSF Award number OCE-2349130), for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program to support undergraduate researchers during the fall semester 2026 (program starts August 24, ends November 13). An REU internship at BIOS is a great way to gain the experience necessary to embark on graduate studies or careers in science. Participants will conduct research projects under the expert mentorship of BIOS scientists. Throughout the 12-week program participants will give oral and virtual poster presentations that outline their research topic, experimental methods and results and attend a series of professional development workshops and seminars hosted by faculty members. In addition, they will provide a project report at the end of the program. Schedule and weather permitting, all participants will be offered an exciting opportunity to join an oceanographic research cruise aboard R/V Atlantic Explorer. They will also have the option to enjoy field and boat excursions to learn about Bermuda's history, flora and fauna. Scholarships & Fellowships: Funding includes return air travel (from and to the U.S.), campus accommodation and meals and a competitive stipend of $650 per week. Participants are solely responsible for their own medical/travel insurance.
