There are multiple avenues for getting involved with LUQ. Associate researchers are scientists who engage with LUQ on either an individual or collaborative project. Graduate students and motivated undergraduates work with Co-PIs or Associate Researchers on LTER-related projects. Undergraduates can participate in our summer REU program. Interns are hired for short-term LUQ research projects such as tree and seedling censuses or field experiments and typically live on site. We also welcome volunteers interested in assisting with research, management, administration, or maintenance capacities. External researchers are scientists or graduate students not associated with LUQ research, but interested in conducting studies at LUQ sites.
