Arranging to Conduct Research at UMBS

Applying to Live/Work at UMBS

If you plan to live at the U-M Biological Station and/or conduct research here, we need to know about you.  By providing the dates you'll be on-site, what equipment you are bringing or will need, and the nature of your research, you ensure your research will go as smoothly as possible and your accommodations will fit your needs.  We cannot begin to assign your housing or research facilities until you have submitted all the information requested in our registration form.  

If you anticipate making more than one stay at the Station over the course of your research, you may wish to create an on-line account to speed up your registration.  

Whether this will be your first time coming to the Station or you are a senior resident, please take time to read our Guide to Living and Working at the Biological Station.  It should answer many of your questions about daily life as well as familiarize you with community standards.
