REU Site: Coastal Ocean Research through the University of Southern California Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies

南加州大学（USC）的箭牌环境科学研究所和南加州大学生物系将举办本科生研究经验（REU）计划。该项目将在三年内每年夏天将本科生带到南加州大学进行为期十周的实习。参与的实习生将被安置在卡塔利纳岛的南加州大学箭牌海洋科学中心（WMSC）或洛杉矶的南加州大学大学公园校区。潜在的研究课题集中在沿海海洋学的主题，包括广泛的研究。实习生还将参加各种专业发展活动和讲习班以及外地活动。实习生有机会参加科学会议。参与的南加州大学教师来自南加州大学的七个不同部门/部门（地球科学，海洋环境生物学，空间科学，环境研究，考古学，土木工程和分子计算生物学），并且都有活跃的国家资助的研究项目和强大的出版记录。该计划还从少数民族服务机构和当地4年制公立和文科学院招募顶级研究教师导师或共同导师，他们通常在夏季在WMSC工作。因此，REU实习生可以从各种领域的潜在研究项目中进行选择，如海洋生物地球化学循环，种群遗传学，基因组学，海洋氮循环，微生物生态学，原生生物多样性，分子生态考古学，水文学，浮游植物生物学和生理学，海洋细菌，病毒，古细菌，底栖和海洋无脊椎动物生态学，生理学，进化适应，微生物真核生物，珊瑚的生态生理学、微量金属、微生物学、鱿鱼-弧菌共生、人与环境的相互作用、可持续性、海带森林生态学、神经内分泌学以及水熊虫多样性和生态学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The University of Southern California (USC)'s Wrigley Institute of Environmental Science and the USC Department of Biology will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The program will bring undergraduates to USC each summer for three years for a ten-week internship. Participating interns will be housed at either the USC Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island or the USC University Park Campus, Los Angeles. Potential research topics are focused on the theme of coastal oceanography and include a wide range of studies. Interns will also participate in a variety of professional development activities and workshops as well as field-based activities. Interns may have the opportunity to participate in scientific conferences.Participating USC faculty have come from seven different departments/sections at USC (Earth Sciences, Marine Environmental Biology, Spatial Sciences, Environmental Studies, Archaeology, Civil Engineering, and Molecular Computational Biology), and all have active, nationally-funded research programs and strong publication records. The program also recruits top research faculty mentors or co-mentors from minority-serving institutions and local 4-year public and liberal arts colleges who routinely work at the WMSC in the summers. Therefore, REU Interns can choose from potential research projects in a wide variety of fields, such as marine biogeochemical cycles, population genetics, genomics, marine Nitrogen cycles, microbial ecology, protistan diversity, molecular ecology archaeology, hydrology, phytoplankton biology and physiology, marine bacteria, viruses, archaea, benthic and marine invertebrate ecology, physiology, evolutionary adaptation, microbial eukaryotes, ecophysiology of corals, trace metals, microbiology, squid-Vibrio symbiosis, Human-environment interactions, sustainability, kelp forest ecology, neuroendocrinology, and Tardigrade diversity and ecology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
