REU Site: Biological Responses to the Environment from Genes to the Ecosystem

是西弗吉尼亚大学吗？REU网站将在2009-2011年夏季为本科生提供一个研究项目。将选出10名学生参加为期10周的研究项目。学生将在经验丰富的教师导师的指导下，在12个实验室中的一个中获得实践研究经验。该REU项目侧重于环境生物学的研究，项目范围从基因组学到生态系统生态学。学生将获得4500美元的津贴，校内住宿，以及往返实验室的交通支持。此外，还免费向参加者提供健康保险和若干社会活动。研究将与研讨会、职业指导、小组活动和研究专题讨论会相协调。学生有机会接受生态学、环境生物学、地理学、分子生物学或基因组学方面的培训。完成REU课程后，学生将为未来的环境生物学研究生和研究人员做好更好的准备。本课程面向所有生物、地理、植物科学或相关专业的本科生开放。鼓励未被充分代表的少数民族、女性、第一代学生和来自研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。摩根敦是一个安全而多样化的大学城，有有趣的娱乐活动，广泛的户外娱乐活动，并可通往美丽的阿巴拉契亚山脉。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://reu.as.wvu.edu，或联系项目主任Richard Thomas博士（rthomas@wvu.edu；电话304-293-5201转31516）。

This West Virginia University?s REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011. Ten students will be selected to participate in a 10-week research program. Students will receive hands-on research experience in one of twelve laboratories under the guidance of an experienced faculty mentor. This REU program focuses on research in environmental biology with projects ranging from genomics to ecosystem ecology. Students will receive a $4,500 stipend, on-campus housing, and support for travel to and from the lab. In addition, health insurance and several social activities are provided at no cost to participants. Research will be coordinated with seminars, career guidance, group activities, and a research symposium. Students have opportunities for training in ecology, environmental biology, geography, molecular biology or genomics. Upon completion of the REU program, students will be better prepared for future opportunities as graduate students and researchers in environmental biology. The program is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in biology, geography, plant science or related fields. Underrepresented minorities, women, first generation students and students from colleges with limited research opportunities are encouraged to apply. Morgantown is a safe and diverse college town with interesting entertainment, extensive outdoor recreation, and access to the beautiful Appalachian Mountains.
