Physics Research Experience for Undergraduates at the University of Rochester, P-REU-R

9400059该计划将使罗切斯特地区机构的大二和大三学生能够在罗切斯特大学承担实验粒子物理和量子光学方面的监督项目。在被录取后，学生们通过春季学期的兼职工作来熟悉各自的研究小组和实验室。核心体验发生在夏季为期两个半月的全职工作期间。然后，每个学生将在接下来的秋季和春季学期继续兼职参与，目标是完成一份科学出版物或报告，以便在物理和天文学系每年举办的春季罗切斯特物理学生研讨会上提交。该计划旨在与大学的其他倡议很好地结合起来，以增加和加强未被充分代表的群体对科学的参与。10个学生职位中的5个将保留给女性和少数族裔学生。作为该计划的伦理组成部分，计划举办一系列研讨会，大学和外部学者将在科学、性别、种族和伦理的交叉路口就历史和当前问题发表演讲。本系列的范围和对“伦理”的广泛解释旨在与不同的学生研究人员群体相关，并促进对当今时代科学家在社会和科学价值方面面临的紧张关系的讨论。***

9400059 Auchincloss This program will enable sophomore and juniors from Rochester area institutions to undertake supervised projects in experimental particle physics and quantum optics at University of Rochester. Upon acceptance to the program, students gain familiarity with their respective research groups and laboratories through part-time work during the spring semester. The central experience takes place during the summer 2.5-month full-time work period. Each student will then continue part-time involvement during the following fall and spring semesters, with the aim of completing a scientific publication or report for presentation at the spring Rochester Symposium for Physics Students, hosted annually by the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The program has been designed to integrate well with other University initiatives toward increasing and enhancing the participation of underrepresented groups in science. Five of the 10 student positions will be reserved for women and minority students. As the ethics component of this program, a series of seminars is planned in which University and outside scholars will speak on historical and current issues at the intersections science, gender, race and ethics. The scope of this series and the broad interpretation of "ethics" is intended have relevance to a diverse group of student researchers, and to promote discussion of the tensions, in social as well as scientific values, that confront scientists in the present era. ***
