The University of Nevada - Las Vegas will offer an REU Site program in partnership with the Desert Research Institute. Undergraduate students will participate in a 10-week summer program involving research in the area of environmental microbiology. Students will collaborate with faculty mentors in developing and carrying out hypothesis-based projects on microorganisms from diverse habitats such as hot springs, the deep terrestrial subsurface, hypersaline lakes, arid soils, and ephemeral water sources. Students may also choose to explore the mechanisms of magnetotaxis, microbial adaptation to stressful and nonhost environments, or the dynamics between primary producers and consumers. All students will receive training in current molecular techniques and the ethics of science, and they will participate in weekly discussions on their project. At the conclusion of the program, students will present their research results at a scientific colloquium. In addition, all students will be encouraged to present their research at a regional or national scientific conference. Students will receive a stipend, housing and meals, and a travel subsidy. First generation college students and members of an underrepresented group are strongly encouraged to apply.

内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校将与沙漠研究所合作提供REU Site项目。本科生将参加一个为期10周的暑期项目，涉及环境微生物学领域的研究。学生将与教师导师合作，开发和实施基于假设的项目，研究来自不同栖息地的微生物，如温泉、深层陆地地下、高盐碱湖、干旱土壤和短暂水源。学生也可以选择探索趋磁性的机制，微生物对压力和非宿主环境的适应，或者初级生产者和消费者之间的动态。所有学生都将接受当前分子技术和科学伦理方面的培训，他们将参加每周一次的关于他们的项目的讨论。在项目结束时，学生将在一个科学座谈会上展示他们的研究成果。此外，将鼓励所有学生在地区性或全国性的科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。学生将获得津贴、住房和餐饮，以及交通补贴。强烈鼓励第一代大学生和代表性不足群体的成员申请。欲了解更多信息，请联系库尔特·雷格纳，电子邮件：[e-mail]或702895-1071，或访问http://sols.unlv.edu/reu_main.html.。
