Marine Biology Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Alaska

阿拉斯加东南大学(UAS)的生物学课程为对海洋生物的生理学、生态学和行为感兴趣的本科生提供研究经验。位于奥克湾的UAS朱诺校区提供了为期10周的海藻、无脊椎动物、鸟类和哺乳动物实践研究体验的机会。除了朱诺地区，实地研究项目还将在冰川湾国家公园和保护区、阿拉斯加湾和北冰洋进行。学生参与者将在UAS生物学教师和合作研究科学家的指导下进行研究。该项目得到了美国国家科学基金会和阿拉斯加东南大学的资助。每个学生参与者将获得每周350美元的津贴和在朱诺期间的住房。还将提供前往该地点和阿拉斯加境内的旅费和生活费。在REU项目期间的生活安排可能涉及与男女学生合住一套公寓，你也可能与另一名(同性)学生合住一间房间。朱诺位于阿拉斯加东南部，只有搭乘渡轮(阿拉斯加海洋公路)或飞机(阿拉斯加航空)才能到达。在UAS园区举办的研讨会将包括科学行为、选定的现场方法以及现场和实验室安全方面的培训。学生将与他们的导师就个别项目进行密集的合作，并在项目结束时在研讨会上展示他们的结果。还存在在国家会议上发言的机会。申请者必须是美国公民或永久居民，并在经认可的机构注册为本科生。即将毕业的大四学生没有资格。该项目寻找对海洋生物研究感兴趣的学术实力雄厚的学生。少数族裔申请者尤其受到鼓励。在2003年2月28日之前收到的所有申请将在3月份的第一个星期进行审查。2月28日以后收到的申请只有在审查原定职位期间没有填补所有职位的情况下才会被考虑。欲了解更多信息，请联系伊丽莎白·马修斯，电话：(907)465-1827，电子邮件：beth.mathews@uas.alaska.edu。你也可以访问http://www.jun.alaska.edu/uas/biology/REU.html.

The Biology Program at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) offers research experience to undergraduate students interested in the physiology, ecology, and behavior of marine organisms. The UAS Juneau Campus, located on Auke Bay, provides opportunities for 10 weeks of hands-on research experience with marine algae, invertebrates, birds and mammals. In addition to the Juneau area, field research projects take place in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, the Gulf of Alaska, and the Arctic Ocean.Student participants will conduct research under the guidance of UAS Biology faculty and collaborating research scientists. The program is supported with funds from the National Science Foundation and the University of Alaska Southeast. Each student participant will receive a stipend $350 per week and housing while in Juneau. Travel and subsistence costs to the site and within Alaska will also be provided. Living arrangements during the REU program may involve sharing an apartment with male and female students, and you may also share a room with another (same-sex) student. Juneau is located in southeastern Alaska and accessible only by ferry (Alaska Marine Highway) or air (Alaska Airlines). A workshop on the UAS campus will include training in the conduct of science, selected field methods, and field and laboratory safety. Students will work intensively with their mentors on individual projects and present their results in a seminar at the completion of the program. Opportunities also exist to present at national meetings. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enrolled as undergraduate students at accredited institutions. Graduating seniors are not eligible. The program seeks academically strong students interested in marine biological research. Minority applicants are especially encouraged. All applications received by 28 February 2003 will be considered in a review during the first week in March. Applications received after 28 February will be considered only if all positions are not filled during review of the original pool.
