REU Site: Molecular Biosciences at the University of Oregon

已向俄勒冈州大学颁发了一笔奖金，该大学将在2011- 2013年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。分子生物科学的REU网站程序侧重于涉及分子生物学，结构生物学和生物物理学，发育和细胞生物学，分子神经生物学和分子进化的研究。生物学和化学系、分子生物学研究所、生态学和进化生物学中心以及神经科学研究所约有40名教师可能参与该计划。有一个范围广泛的令人兴奋的实习项目。实习生参加全职密切指导的实验室研究项目以及研讨会和各种专业发展研讨会，如负责任的研究行为，专业沟通技巧，工业和学术界的职业机会，以及研究生院申请过程。实习生也有实地考察，例如俄勒冈州海洋生物研究所，松山天文台和纽贝里陨石坑。 每个REU主机实验室都配备了最先进的分子生物科学工具，研究所拥有广泛的共享设施。实习生的选择是基于学术记录，研究兴趣和在分子生物科学研究事业的特殊潜力。REU校友被跟踪，以确定他们对学习的学术领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经验的持久影响。计划评估是形成性和总结性的，内部和外部，评估包括使用REU通用评估工具。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://biology.uoregon.edu/UOREU/并联系PI（Peter M.

An award has been made to the University of Oregon that will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2011- 2013. The REU Site Program in molecular biosciences focuses in studies involving molecular biology, structural biology and biophysics, developmental and cellular biology, molecular neurobiology, and molecular evolution. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry, the Institute of Molecular Biology, the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the Institute of Neuroscience have about 40 faculty potentially participating in the program. There is a wide range of exciting projects for interns. Interns participate in a full-time closely mentored lab research project as well as seminars and various professional development workshops, such as the responsible conduct of research, professional communication skills, career opportunities in industry and academia, and the graduate school application process. Interns also have field trips, e.g. the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, the Pine Mountain Astronomical Observatory, and the Newberry Crater. Each REU host lab is fully equipped with state of the art molecular bioscience tools, and the Institutes have extensive shared facilities. Interns are selected based on academic record, research interest, and exceptional potential for research careers in molecular biosciences. REU alumni are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. Program evaluation is done formatively and summatively, internally and externally, and the assessment includes use of an REU common assessment tool.
