REU Site: Research Experiences in Marine Molecular Physiology

美国国家科学基金会的研究经验的本科生网站在山荒岛生物实验室（索尔兹伯里湾，缅因州）提供了十个为期八周的奖学金，为本科生主修生物学或其相关领域的研究。 学生从30名资深科学家的名单中优先考虑三名导师/项目，探索涉及海洋分子生理学和功能基因组学的及时问题。 利用鲨鱼，冰鞋，比目鱼，杜父鱼和其他海洋动物，包括无脊椎动物，学生在实验室工作台上探索有关生殖，生殖调节，酸碱平衡，离子运输和环境毒理学的分子水平的问题。 学生接受先进技术的培训，如共聚焦显微镜和基因表达。 为了补充板凳工作，本科生参加三个每周一次的实验室范围内的科学研讨会，主题与海洋分子生理学（周一上午膜运输研讨会，周三晚上研讨会和周五“布朗袋”简短讲座研讨会），并参加伦理课程，“负责任的行为在实验室研究”由他们的导师讲授。 学生被邀请参加各种MDIBL科学会议，其中国际知名的研究人员介绍他们的工作。 选定的本科生在季末活动“未来科学家之夜”上展示他们的研究成果，该活动由MDIBL和杰克逊实验室赞助。 最后，学生写一篇研究论文，可能发表在山沙漠岛生物实验室的公报（http：//www.mdibl.org/parent-frames/publications/）。MDIBL的REU奖学金是包罗万象的。 提供食宿、用品、旅费和津贴。 本科生被安置在校园内的两个宿舍毗邻实验室排球场之一。 一日三餐在MDIBL CO OP提供。周末，本科生自己做饭，食堂提供“原材料”。 在实验室外的活动包括在附近的南卡罗来纳州国家公园和山荒岛上的小城镇进行无限制的娱乐活动。 宿舍，社区食堂，专门的导师，精力充沛的学生，实验室的自然环境和氛围凝聚成一个真正独特和富有成效的科学社区。学生招聘联系点：迈克尔·麦克南（教育主任），电话。207 288-3605，mmckernan@mdibl. org。有关站点和应用信息，请参见http://www.mdibl.org

The National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates site at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (Salisbury Cove, Maine) provides ten eight-week fellowships for undergraduate students majoring in biology or its allied fields of study. Students prioritize three mentors/projects from a list of 30 senior scientists exploring timely questions involving marine molecular physiology and functional genomics. Using sharks, skates, flounder, sculpin and other sea fauna including invertebrates, students work at the laboratory bench to explore questions at the molecular level concerning reproduction, osmoregulation, acid base balance, ion transport and environmental toxicology. Students are trained in advanced techniques such as confocal microscopy and gene expression. To supplement bench work, undergraduates attend three weekly laboratory-wide science seminars on topics related to marine molecular physiology (Monday Morning Membrane Transport Seminar, Wednesday Evening Seminar, and Friday 'Brown Bag' Short Lecture Seminar) and participate in an ethics course, 'Responsible Conduct in Laboratory Research' taught by their mentors. Students are invited to attend a variety of MDIBL scientific conferences in which internationally renown researchers present their work. Selected undergraduates present their research at an end-of-the-season event, 'Future Scientists Night' sponsored by MDIBL and the Jackson Laboratory. Finally, students write a research paper for possible publication in The Bulletin of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (http://www.mdibl.org/parent-frames/publications/). MDIBL's REU Fellowships are all-inclusive. Room, board, supplies, travel and a stipend are provided. Undergraduates are housed on campus in one of two residence halls adjacent to the Laboratory volleyball court. Three meals a day are provided in the MDIBL CO OP. On weekends, undergraduates cook their own meals, with 'raw materials' provided in the dining hall. Activities outside the Laboratory include unlimited recreation in nearby Acadia National Park and small towns on Mount Desert Island. The dormitories, the community dining hall, dedicated mentors, energetic students, the Laboratory's natural setting and ambiance coalesce to a truly unique and productive scientific community.
