REU Site: Ecological and Evolutionary Biology Research at Humboldt State University

洪堡州立大学每年夏天将招收7名学生，参加为期10周的生态和进化生物学REU项目。该项目旨在为本科生提供实践研究机会，特别是那些来自科学界代表性不足的群体的本科生。招聘将基于对生态学和进化生物学的兴趣、职业目标和学术成就。学生将被选中，以确保一个具有文化多样性的群体，包括那些接受培训成为生物教师的学生。教师导师拥有活跃的研究项目，涵盖进化生物学的所有领域，从拉森火山国家公园温泉微生物群落的多样性，到鸣禽的进化生态学，以及鱼类的分类学和生物地理学。学生将：1)学习实验设计和统计分析的要点，2)设计和实施独立的研究项目，3)在夏末研讨会上展示他们的工作，4)写一篇手稿，5)参与一个社会项目，向人们灌输对北加州各种自然栖息地的欣赏。洪堡州立大学为进化生物学的研究提供了出色的设施和实地考察场地。在阿尔卡塔30英里的范围内，学生们可以参观盐沼、沙丘、古老的红杉(包括紧挨着校园的600英亩红杉林)、草原稀树草原、道格拉斯冷杉林、蜿蜒草原、泥滩、岩石潮汐池塘和海底海洋栖息地。欲了解更多信息和申请材料，请联系肖恩·克雷格博士，电子邮件：sfc4@humboldt.edu或(7078263656)，或访问http://www.humboldt.edu/~hsureu/.。

Humboldt State University will host 7 students each summer in a 10-week REU program in ecology and evolutionary biology. The program is designed to provide hands-on research opportunities for undergraduates, especially those from underrepresented groups in the sciences. Recruitment will be based on interest in ecology and evolutionary biology, career goals, and academic achievement. Students will be selected to ensure a culturally diverse group, including those training to become biology teachers. Faculty mentors have active research programs that span the full gamut of evolutionary biology, from the diversity of microbial communities in hot springs at Lassen Volcanic National Park to the evolutionary ecology of songbirds, and the systematics and biogeography of fishes. Students will: 1) learn the essentials of experimental design and statistical analysis, 2) design and implement independent research projects, 3) present their work at an end-of- summer symposium, 4) write a manuscript, and 5) participate in a social program that instills an appreciation for the wide variety of natural habitats in Northern California. Humboldt State University offers outstanding facilities and field sites for research in evolutionary biology. Within 30 miles of Arcata, students can visit salt marshes, sand dunes, old growth redwoods (including a 600-acre redwood forest directly adjacent to campus), grassland savannas, Douglas fir forests, serpentine grasslands, mudflats, rocky tide pools, and benthic marine habitats.
