The Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Montana is offering an 8-week summer REU program for eight undergraduate students, including incoming freshmen. Students with an interest in environmental biology will be recruited. Students will be matched with a mentor based on their interests and will conduct an original hands-on research in one of the areas offered in the program, which include microbial ecology, plant ecology, and ecological and evolutionary genetics. Student projects will be designed to help REU participants develop their research skills and independence, as well as enhance their knowledge in a specific area of environmental biology. Students will gain experience in many aspects of scientific research, including formulating questions and hypotheses; designing experiments; analyzing data; writing a paper, and communicating research results. Students will also participate in workshops to develop additional research-related skills, to learn about career options in environmental biology, and to learn how research findings are applied in areas such as ecology of disease, habitat restoration, wildlife management, forest management, and invasive species management. Students will also have the opportunity to share their experience in group meetings and to develop a sense of scientific community. Applications from graduating high school seniors and from Native American students are encouraged. More information is available at http://reu.dbs.umt.edu or by contacting Bill Holben at [e-mail], or [phone].

蒙大拿大学的生物科学系正在为8周的夏季REU计划，旨在为八名本科生，包括新生在内。将招募对环境生物学感兴趣的学生。学生将根据他们的兴趣与导师相匹配，并将在该计划中提供的一个领域进行原始的动手研究，其中包括微生物生态学，植物生态学以及生态和进化遗传学。学生项目将旨在帮助REU参与者发展他们的研究技能和独立性，并在特定的环境生物学领域增强知识。学生将在科学研究的许多方面获得经验，包括提出问题和假设；设计实验；分析数据；撰写论文并传达研究结果。学生还将参加研讨会，以发展与研究相关的其他技能，了解环境生物学领域的职业选择，并了解如何将研究结果应用于疾病，栖息地恢复，野生动植物管理，森林管理，森林管理和入侵物种管理等领域。学生还将有机会分享他们在小组会议上的经验并发展科学界的感觉。鼓励高中生和美国原住民学生的申请。请访问http://reu.dbs.umt.edu或通过[e-mail]与Bill Holben联系，或（406）243-6163。
