REU Site: Research Program in Mechanisms of Behavior

杜克大学的夏季REU项目“行为机制”提供了综合、系统和行为神经科学的重点。对动物学习和行为研究的关注统一了教师在这个跨学科领域的研究兴趣，并作为该计划学生参与者可获得的个人项目的共同主题。该计划旨在为高素质的个人提供机会；包括女性、少数民族和残疾本科生，他们希望扩大他们的实验室技能。每年夏天，本科生将参加一个为期10周的研究项目，其中包括与一名参与的教员进行一对一的指导。此外，每周三次的系列研讨会，包括“神经科学研究”、“科学基础”和“科学伦理与实践”，将有助于整合个人的实验室经验。该计划的主要目标是为本科生提供接受行为神经科学和基因组学前沿方法培训的机会。该计划的导师是各自领域的杰出研究人员，在指导和培训本科生方面具有丰富的经验。学生们将从事自己掌握的研究项目，这些项目将为神经科学界带来有价值的新发现提供真正的机会。Warren H. Meck将是学生招聘的联络点（心理和脑科学系，103 Research Drive, Box 91050，杜克大学，Durham, NC 27708）。电话:919-660-5765;电子邮件:meck@psych.duke.edu)。有关该计划的更多信息可以在http://www.duke.edu/neurosci/research/mob.html上找到。

Duke University's Summer REU Program in "Mechanisms of Behavior" provides an emphasis on integrative, systems, and behavioral neuroscience. The focus on the study of animal learning and behavior unifies faculty research interests within this interdisciplinary field and serves as the common theme for the individual projects available to student participants in the program. The program is designed to provide opportunities for highly qualified individuals; including women, minority, and disabled undergraduate students who would like to expand their laboratory skills. Each summer, undergraduate students will participate in a 10-week research program that includes a one-on-one mentorship with a participating faculty member. In addition, 3 weekly seminar series including "Research in the Neurosciences", "Science Basics", and "Science Ethics and Practice" will serve to integrate the individual laboratory experiences. The primary goal of the program is to provide opportunities for undergraduates to receive training in the cutting-edge methodologies of behavioral neuroscience and genomics. Mentors for the program are prominent researchers in their fields and have substantial experience in supervising and training undergraduates. The students will work on research projects that are within their grasp, and which present real opportunities for new discoveries that will be of value to the neuroscience community.Dr. Warren H. Meck will be the point-of-contact for student recruitment (Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, 103 Research Drive, Box 91050, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708.
