Research Opportunities for Undergraduates
Looking for Summer Research Opportunities? Check out the Summer Opportunities page.
Interested in undergraduate research at OKCU? Several opportunities exist with our fine Biology faculty (below), as well as literally hundreds of opportunities for summer research at locations across the globe. Check this site in late fall/early spring for more summer opportunities.
Dr. Tony Stancampiano, Ph.D. His research focuses on the ecology of homeothermic vertebrates; more specifically, how do these animals perceive their environment at the local and landscape scale. Under-graduate researchers are currently investigating the habitat affinities of small mammals and preferred landscape features of secondary cavity nesting birds, while others are assessing nest composition and surveying opportunistic nest inhabitants and also establishing molecular markers for two sympatric species of mice in an effort to determine if hybridization occurs and to develop more accurate field identification.
Dr. Adam Ryburn, Ph.D. A plant systematist by training, the focus of his research is the classification and identification of native plants of Oklahoma. He works with other state botanists on the Flora of Oklahoma Project, constructing the keys and descriptions of the vascular flora of the state.
