REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Integrated Ecology: from Molecules to Ecosystems

布拉德利大学正在招募六名本科生参加为期十周的生态学暑期研究体验。学生将接触到分子，生理，有机体，社区和生态系统的方法。虽然每个学生将负责一个特定的项目，但他们也将与其他REU学生和教师导师在相关项目上合作。REU参与者将提交一份最终报告，并在项目结束研究研讨会上展示他们的结果。参与者将沉浸在这样一种文化中：(1)将课堂内外的研究和教育活动整合在一起；(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地点的研究，向学生介绍更广泛的科学界；(4)表现出对支持师生研究的最高承诺。选择标准包括(1)最低平均绩点为3.0，成功完成两年的生物和一年的化学课程；（二）推荐信；（三）研究兴趣陈述；(4)职业目标陈述。不符合规定标准的申请人也将根据具体情况进行考虑。鼓励少数民族学生申请。REU将为学生提供校内住宿，并将获得津贴和膳食津贴。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.bradley.edu/academics/las/bio/summerreu.html或通过kdm@bradley.edu与Kelly McConnaughay联系。

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.
