REU Site in Cell, Developmental and Evolutionary Biology at UC Berkeley

加州伯克利大学将举办12个有兴趣在生物学职业的积极本科生参加为期10周的住宅夏季研究计划在细胞，发育和进化生物学。这个密集计划的目标是（1）培养如何交织的概念在组织复杂性的许多层面上团结生物学领域的赞赏。学生将参加一系列的教师研讨会，从细胞生物学到古人类学和生物信息学。(2)培养独立研究能力。学生将根据自己的兴趣和参与教师的可用性参加个人研究项目。研究经验将由来自分子细胞生物学，综合生物学，植物微生物生物学和DOE联合基因组研究所4个参与单位的教师和博士生形成。(3)提高学生的成功，并引导他们走向研究生学习。学生将参加专业发展研讨会，包括科学道德，GRE准备，撰写有效的研究声明/申请，进行有效的口头陈述，了解生物学的资金结构等。(4)熟悉大型研究型大学的生活。学生将与生物学者计划（http：//www.example.com）的本科生同行进行广泛的互动。bsp.berkeley.edu特别鼓励少数民族学生在科学领域代表性不足的申请，以及那些在家乡机构几乎没有机会获得研究经验的申请。参与者将获得津贴，外加住房、膳食和旅行费用。参与教师致力于促进学生的成功和多样化的生物科学社区。更多信息和申请材料可在http://mcb.berkeley.edu/nsfreu/或联系教授大卫Weisblat（weisblat@berkeley.edu，510 842 8309）。

The University of California Berkeley will host 12 motivated undergraduate students interested in careers in biology to participate in a 10-week residential summer research program in Cell, Developmental, and Evolutionary Biology. The goals of this intensive program are (1) To foster an appreciation of how interwoven concepts unite the field of biology across many layers of organizational complexity. Students will participate in a series of faculty seminars ranging from cell biology to paleoanthropology and bioinformatics. (2) To foster independent research capabilities. Students will participate in individual research projects based on their interests and the availability of participating faculty. The research experience will be shaped by faculty and doctoral students from the 4 participating units of Molecular & Cell Biology, Integrative Biology, Plant & Microbial Biology , and the DOE Joint Genome Institute. (3) To enhance student success and guide them toward graduate studies. Students will participate in professional development workshops including scientific ethics, GRE preparation, writing an effective research statement/application, making effective oral presentations, understanding the funding structure of biology, and more. (4) To become familiar with life at a large research university. Students will interact extensively with undergraduate peers from the Biology Scholars Program (http://bsp.berkeley.edu). Applications from ethnic minority students underrepresented in the sciences and from those who have little opportunity for research experience at their home institution are especially encouraged. Participants will receive a stipend, plus housing, meals and travel costs. Participating faculty are committed to facilitating student success and a diverse bioscience community. More information and application materials are available at http://mcb.berkeley.edu/nsfreu/ or by contacting Professor David Weisblat (weisblat@berkeley.edu, 510 842 8309).
