Bradley University is recruiting six undergraduate students to participate in a 10-week summer research experience in ecology. Students will be exposed to molecular, physiological, organismal, community and ecosystem approaches. Although individual students will be responsible for a particular project, they will also work collaboratively with other REU students and faculty mentors on related projects. REU participants will be expected to submit a final report and to present their results at an end-of-program research symposium. Participants 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 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. REU students will be provided on-campus housing and will receive a stipend and meal allowance.

布拉德利大学正在招募6名本科生参加为期10周的生态学夏季研究体验。学生将接触到分子，生理，有机体，社区和生态系统的方法。虽然个别学生将负责一个特定的项目，他们也将与其他REU学生和教师导师在相关项目上合作。REU的参与者将提交一份最终报告，并在项目结束时的研究研讨会上介绍他们的成果。参与者将沉浸在一种文化中，（1）将研究和教育活动融入课堂内外，（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。选择标准包括：（1）平均成绩最低为3.0，并成功完成两年的生物学和一年的化学;（2）推荐信;（3）研究兴趣的声明;和（4）职业目标的声明。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。REU学生将提供校内住宿，并将获得助学金和膳食津贴。更多信息可在http://www.bradley.edu/academics/las/bio/summerreu.html或联系凯利McConnaughay在[e-mail]。
