Bradley University in Peoria, IL, is recruiting six undergraduate students to participate in a 10-week intensive summer research program in ecology. Students will be exposed to molecular, physiological, organismal, community and ecosystem approaches. Although students will be responsible for a particular project in support of the common goal, they will also work collaboratively with other REU students and faculty mentors. REU participants will be expected to submit a final report in journal format and to present their results at an in-house research symposium held at the conclusion of the summer. In addition to undergrads, K-12 educators and local minority high school students will also be involved in research and other program activities. Students will be immersed in a culture that (1) integrates research and educational activities throughout and beyond the classroom, (2) fosters and supports multi-investigator, multi-institutional, cross-disciplinary collaborations, (3) introduces students to the broader scientific community through multiple university collaborations and research at multi-investigator research sites and (4) shows the highest commitment to supporting faculty-student research. Selection criteria for REU participants include (1) a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and the successful completion of two years of Biology and one year of Chemistry; (2) letters of recommendation; (3) a statement of research interests; and (4) a statement of career goals. Applicants not meeting the stated criteria will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. Minority students are encouraged to apply.

位于伊利诺伊州皮奥里亚的布拉德利大学正在招募6名本科生参加为期10周的生态学暑期密集研究项目。学生将接触到分子，生理，有机体，社区和生态系统的方法。虽然学生将负责一个特定的项目，以支持共同的目标，他们也将与其他REU学生和教师导师合作。 REU参与者将以期刊形式提交最终报告，并在夏季结束时举行的内部研究研讨会上介绍他们的结果。 除了本科生，K-12教育工作者和当地少数民族高中生也将参与研究和其他项目活动。学生将沉浸在一种文化中，（1）整合整个课堂内外的研究和教育活动，（2）促进和支持多研究者，多机构，跨学科的合作，（3）通过多所大学的合作和多研究者研究中心的研究向学生介绍更广泛的科学界，（4）表现出对支持教师的最高承诺-学生研究。 REU参与者的选择标准包括：（1）平均最低成绩为3.0，成功完成两年的生物学和一年的化学;（2）推荐信;（3）研究兴趣声明;和（4）职业目标声明。 不符合上述标准的申请人也将按个别情况予以考虑。鼓励少数民族学生申请。欲了解更多信息，请致电309-677-3020或访问http://www.bradley.edu/academics/las/bio/reu2005.html与Kelly McConnaughay联系。[e-mail]
