The Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER), located at the University of Michigan, announces the 2017 Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program. This program is sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL). The Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program exposes students to a broad range of disciplines and provides an exciting opportunity for students to conduct research in the Great Lakes region under the mentorship of a CILER or GLERL scientist.

Ten (10) positions are located at GLERL, 4840 South State Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48108; one (1) position is located at the University of Illinois at Urbana‐Champaign (UIUC) Midwest Regional Climate Center (MRCC), 2204 Griffith Drive, Champaign, IL 61820.

  • Positions will last for twelve weeks from the start date. The start date will be in early May, but this can be flexible (i.e., early June start) based selected candidate’s schedule or project needs
