REU Site: Taiwan-Texas A&M Summer Research Program

德州农工大学生物化学与生物物理学系正在台湾的三个地点赞助NSF资助的国际REU计划：台北的中央研究院和国立台湾大学，以及台南的国立成功大学。 该计划的主要目标是准备本科生追求研究生培训和职业生涯的研究，并灌输研究机会的全球意识。 学生将进行生物化学和分子生物学的前沿研究。在计划结束时，他们将以书面和口头报告的形式介绍他们的研究。 学生将获得信心，他们有能力融入独特的实验室环境，进行对台湾重要的原创研究，欣赏美国和台湾之间研究行为的相似性和差异，以及通过国际科学的社会和文化沉浸的全球视野。 多达八名学生将被选中参加为期10周的暑期课程，该课程将从5月底到8月初进行。 通常情况下，申请人应该完成大三，有国内研究经验，表达了在国外实验室获得经验的愿望和意愿，并表现出适应国外环境所需的灵活性和开放性。 鼓励代表性不足的少数群体提出申请。 不需要会说中国方言或普通话。 选择将基于申请，推荐信和电话面试。更多信息请访问http://biochemistry.tamu.edu/? ch=reu sec=reu或联系wayers@tamu.edu。

The Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics at Texas A&M University is sponsoring an NSF-funded international REU program at three sites in Taiwan: Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University in Taipei, and National Cheng Kung University in Tainan. The major goals of the program are to prepare undergraduates to pursue graduate training and careers in research, and instill a global awareness of research opportunities. Students will perform cutting-edge research in biochemistry and molecular biology. At the conclusion of the program they will present their research in both written and oral reports. Students will gain confidence in their ability to become integrated into unique lab settings conducting original research of importance to Taiwan, an appreciation for the similarities and differences in the conduct of research between the US and Taiwan, and a global perspective through social and cultural immersion in international science. Up to eight students will be selected to participate in a 10-week summer program that will run approximately from the end of May through early August. Typically, applicants should have completed their junior year, have domestic research experience, expressed a desire and willingness to gain experience in a foreign lab, and show the flexibility and openness needed to adapt in a foreign environment. Applications from underrepresented minority groups are encouraged. The ability to speak a Chinese dialect or mandarin is not required. Selection will be based on the application, letters of recommendation and a telephone interview.
