REU Site: Research Program in Mechanisms of Behavior

杜克大学的夏季REU计划在“行为机制”提供了一个强调综合，系统和行为神经科学。对动物学习和行为的研究的重点统一了教师在这个跨学科领域的研究兴趣，并作为该计划的学生参与者提供的个人项目的共同主题。该计划旨在为高素质的个人提供机会;包括希望扩大实验室技能的女性，少数民族和残疾本科生。每年夏天，本科生将参加为期10周的研究计划，其中包括与参与教师一对一的指导。 此外，每周三次的研讨会系列，包括“神经科学研究”，“科学基础”和“科学伦理与实践”将有助于整合个人实验室的经验。该计划的主要目标是为本科生提供接受行为神经科学和基因组学前沿方法培训的机会。该计划的导师是各自领域的杰出研究人员，在监督和培训本科生方面拥有丰富的经验。学生们将致力于他们力所能及的研究项目，这些项目为神经科学界带来了真实的新发现的机会。梅克将是学生招聘的联系点（心理和脑科学系，103研究驱动器，框91050，杜克大学，达勒姆，NC 27708。电话：919-660-5765;电子邮件：meck@psych.duke.edu）。 有关该计划的更多信息，请访问：http://www.duke.edu/neurosci/research/mob.html。

Duke University's Summer REU Program in "Mechanisms of Behavior" provides an emphasis on integrative, systems, and behavioral neuroscience. The focus on the study of animal learning and behavior unifies faculty research interests within this interdisciplinary field and serves as the common theme for the individual projects available to student participants in the program. The program is designed to provide opportunities for highly qualified individuals; including women, minority, and disabled undergraduate students who would like to expand their laboratory skills. Each summer, undergraduate students will participate in a 10-week research program that includes a one-on-one mentorship with a participating faculty member. In addition, 3 weekly seminar series including "Research in the Neurosciences", "Science Basics", and "Science Ethics and Practice" will serve to integrate the individual laboratory experiences. The primary goal of the program is to provide opportunities for undergraduates to receive training in the cutting-edge methodologies of behavioral neuroscience and genomics. Mentors for the program are prominent researchers in their fields and have substantial experience in supervising and training undergraduates. The students will work on research projects that are within their grasp, and which present real opportunities for new discoveries that will be of value to the neuroscience community.Dr. Warren H. Meck will be the point-of-contact for student recruitment (Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, 103 Research Drive, Box 91050, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708.
