REU Site in Ecological and Evolutionary Research at Humboldt State University

洪堡州立大学每年夏天将举办10名学生参加为期10周的生态学和进化生物学REU课程。 我们的计划旨在为本科生，特别是那些传统上代表性不足的科学群体提供动手研究的机会。 招聘将基于对生态学和进化生物学的兴趣，职业目标和学术成就。 我们将选择学生，以确保参与者的文化多样性，以及1-2名正在培训成为高中生物教师的学生。 谁将在我们的计划担任导师的17名教师有运行进化生物学的全方位积极的研究计划，从微生物群落的多样性在拉森火山国家公园的温泉鸣禽的进化生态学，蝙蝠的生理生态学，以及飞鼠和其他太平洋西北哺乳动物的系统学和地理学。 我们REU计划的学生将：1）学习实验设计和统计分析的要领，2）与同行一起设计和实施独立的研究项目，3）在夏季结束时在正式的研讨会上展示他们的工作，4）写一篇关于他们工作的手稿，以及5）参加一个社会计划，灌输对北方加州各种各样的自然栖息地和他们居住的学者社区的赞赏。 洪堡州立大学为进化生物学的研究提供了一流的设施和野外基地。 在距离阿尔卡塔30英里的范围内，学生们可以参观盐沼、沙丘、古老的红杉林（包括紧邻校园的600英亩红杉林）、草原稀树草原、道格拉斯冷杉林、蛇形草原、泥滩、岩石潮池和海底海洋栖息地。 HSU的本科教育方法是令人难以置信的成功;在公共，非博士授予机构，HSU排名第一，在全国的本科生的比例，继续获得生物学博士学位。 欲了解更多信息和申请材料，请联系肖恩博士克雷格在sfc4@humboldt.edu或（707）826-3656，或访问http://www.humboldt.edu/~hsureu/。

Humboldt State University will host 10 students each summer in a 10-week REU program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Our program is designed to provide hands-on research opportunities for undergraduates, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups in the sciences. Recruitment will be based on interest in ecology and evolutionary biology, career goals, and academic achievement. We will choose students to ensure a culturally diverse group of participants, as well as 1-2 students who are training to become high school biology teachers. The 17 faculty who will serve as mentors in our program have active research programs that run the full gamut of evolutionary biology, ranging from the diversity of microbial communities in hot springs at Lassen Volcanic National Park to the evolutionary ecology of songbirds, the physiological ecology of bats, and the systematics and biogeography of flying squirrels and other Pacific Northwest mammals. Students in our REU program will: 1) learn the essentials of experimental design and statistical analysis, 2) design and implement independent research projects in conjunction with their peers, 3) present their work at the end of the summer in a formal seminar, 4) write a manuscript on their work, and 5) participate in a social program that instills an appreciation for the wide variety of natural habitats in Northern California and the community of scholars in which they reside. Humboldt State University offers outstanding facilities and field sites for research in evolutionary biology. Within 30 miles of Arcata, students can visit salt marshes, sand dunes, old growth redwoods (including a 600-acre redwood forest directly adjacent to campus), grassland savannas, Douglas fir forests, serpentine grasslands, mudflats, rocky tide pools, and benthic marine habitats. HSU's approach to undergraduate education is incredibly successful; among public, non-PhD granting institutions, HSU ranks 1st in the nation in the proportion of undergraduates that go on to attain a PhD in biology.
