REU Site: Molecular Biosciences at the University of Oregon

俄勒冈大学将在2011- 2013年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。REU分子生物科学项目的研究重点包括分子生物学、结构生物学和生物物理学、发育和细胞生物学、分子神经生物学和分子进化。生物和化学系、分子生物学研究所、生态和进化生物学中心以及神经科学研究所约有40名教员可能参与该计划。这里有很多令人兴奋的项目供实习生选择。实习生将参加一个全职的实验室研究项目，以及研讨会和各种专业发展讲习班，如负责任的研究行为、专业沟通技巧、工业界和学术界的就业机会，以及研究生院的申请过程。实习生也有实地考察，例如俄勒冈海洋生物研究所、松树山天文台和纽贝里陨石坑。每个REU宿主实验室都配备了最先进的分子生物科学工具，并且研究所拥有广泛的共享设施。实习生的选择是基于学业成绩、研究兴趣和分子生物科学研究事业的特殊潜力。对REU校友进行跟踪，以确定他们对学术研究领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经历的持久影响。项目评估是形式化的和总结性的，内部的和外部的，评估包括使用REU通用评估工具。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://biology.uoregon.edu/UOREU/或联系PI （Peter M.

An award has been made to the University of Oregon that will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2011- 2013. The REU Site Program in molecular biosciences focuses in studies involving molecular biology, structural biology and biophysics, developmental and cellular biology, molecular neurobiology, and molecular evolution. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry, the Institute of Molecular Biology, the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the Institute of Neuroscience have about 40 faculty potentially participating in the program. There is a wide range of exciting projects for interns. Interns participate in a full-time closely mentored lab research project as well as seminars and various professional development workshops, such as the responsible conduct of research, professional communication skills, career opportunities in industry and academia, and the graduate school application process. Interns also have field trips, e.g. the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, the Pine Mountain Astronomical Observatory, and the Newberry Crater. Each REU host lab is fully equipped with state of the art molecular bioscience tools, and the Institutes have extensive shared facilities. Interns are selected based on academic record, research interest, and exceptional potential for research careers in molecular biosciences. REU alumni are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. Program evaluation is done formatively and summatively, internally and externally, and the assessment includes use of an REU common assessment tool.
