2009年斯坦福大学暑期实习机会
The Stanford Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program was designe
d to give undergraduates an opportunity to work with faculty members and thei
r research groups on advanced research topics. The chosen students can take a
dvantage of this ten-week program and obtain in-depth research experience on
a particular topic, and/or a broad hands-on exposure to various fields. The R
EU has been a well-organized, successful, and popular program. For summer 200
9, Stanford School of engineering (SoE) is planning to add some students from
Peking/Tsinghua Universities. By being part of the REU cohort, Chinese stude
nts will learn from and enhance Stanford undergraduate students’ experience
with a diverse, international population, broadening the perspective of both
groups.
Stanford has collected position descriptions from faculty members who are int
erested in taking Chinese REU students for the next summer. There are 10 posi
tions available in this pilot program. Note that those positions are open to
both Peking and Tsinghua universities for open competition. We'd like to have
1-3 junior students from PKU and Tsingua respectively to apply for each posi
tion. Among them, 2 positions are in bioengineering.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Position 1:
Stanford iGEM Team Exchange – The requested REU position will support one or
more exchange student’s participation on the Stanford iGEM Team. iGEM is t
he International Genetically Engineered Machines Competition, through which t
eams of students at universities world-wide compete to design, build, and tes
t a genetically-engineered organism of their own design. Last year ~900 stude
nts from ~85 schools participated, including PKU and Tsinghua. More informati
on is available online via http://igem.org/ Any participating PKU or Tsinghu
a student would be an equal member in full standing on Stanford’s team. The
2009 team will have access to the laboratories of Profs. Drew Endy and Chris
tina Smolke and will be mentored by ~6 graduate students and several addition
al Stanford faculty.
Desired skills/ background:
REQUIRED (all four): Strong team player, positive attitude, passion for build
ing things, desire to make the world better.
Position 2:
Computational modeling of networks in bacteria: project seeks to interpret ex
perimental data on cellular behavior with simple biophysical models. Topics o
f interest include cell shape, membrane mechanics, cell division, and cell si
gnaling.
Desired skills/ background:
Programming in MATLAB and C, coursework in molecular biology
