The Department of Microbiology at the University of Iowa will operate an REU Site during the summers of 2007-2009. The program seeks to encourage students to pursue a career in basic science and to give those students the skills they need to succeed in that career path. To fulfill these goals, students will spend 9 weeks in a modern laboratory conducting a research project that addresses a substantive scientific question. In addition, social activities and lectures will promote informal interactions, broaden the students' understanding of microbiology, and educate them about graduate school and career options. At the end of the summer, students will prepare a written report and present their findings at a University-wide symposium. Students will also be encouraged to present their results at regional or national meetings. Students will receive a stipend and money for travel and living expenses. The program is open to undergraduates who have (1) finished their sophomore or junior year of college, (2) are interested in scientific research, and (3) are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Recruitment will emphasize students from demographic groups that are underrepresented in the sciences and/or students from small colleges where opportunities for research are lacking.

爱荷华大学微生物系将在2007-2009年夏季运营一个REU站点。该项目旨在鼓励学生从事基础科学方面的职业，并为这些学生提供在这条职业道路上取得成功所需的技能。为了实现这些目标，学生将花9周的时间在一个现代化的实验室进行一个研究项目，解决一个实质性的科学问题。此外，社会活动和讲座将促进非正式的互动，扩大学生对微生物学的理解，并教育他们关于研究生院和职业选择。在夏季结束时，学生们将准备一份书面报告，并在全校范围的研讨会上展示他们的发现。还将鼓励学生在区域或国家会议上展示他们的成果。学生将获得津贴、交通费和生活费。该项目面向(1)完成大学二年级或三年级的本科生，(2)对科学研究感兴趣，(3)是美国公民或永久居民。招聘的重点是那些在科学领域代表性不足的人口群体和/或来自缺乏研究机会的小型学院的学生。欲了解更多信息，请访问我们的网站http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/microbiology/educational/summer07.htm，或通过项目办公室联系David Weiss:[phone] （[e-mail]）。
