Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship: Bringing Authentic Science to the Undergraduate Lab Experience

安妮·本特利正在将研究和本科教育与探索兵团博士后奖学金相结合。她的研究内容将包括设计和制造用于太阳能制氢的生物光电化学电池。探索太阳能转换的本科生实验模块将被纳入化学入门实验。本特利将与教育中真实科学实践中心(CASPiE)合作，该中心是NSF资助的本科生研究中心，在同行领导的团队学习和基于研究的实验室方法方面培训研究生助教。该奖项由化学部和多学科活动办公室共同资助。探索军团奖学金计划是一个试点计划，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将研究专业知识与面向服务的项目相结合。探索团队计划同时支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Anne Bentley is integrating research and undergraduate education with this Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her research component will involve designing and fabricating bio-photoelectrochemical cells for solar hydrogen production. An undergraduate lab module exploring solar energy conversion will be incorporated in introductory chemistry labs. Bentley will partner with the Center for Authentic Science Practice in Education (CASPiE), an NSF-funded Undergraduate Research Center, to train graduate student teaching assistants in peer-led team learning and research-based laboratory methods. This award is cofunded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with a service-oriented project. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
