项目摘要

GER-9452643 University of Vermont Schall We ask support for five Graduate Research Traineeships in Environmental Biology. These students will be trained by eight faculty in the Zoology Department of the University of Vermont (UVM). This cluster of biologists has been selected as a "center of excellence" in science: Joint state and NSF EPSCoR funding will support continuing research by the cluster, and the university has recently added two faculty to the group. The EPSCoR funds also provide seed and travel grants for graduate students. Today's doctoral students in environmental biology must combine traditional field and theoretical ecology with population genetics, phylogenetic analysis, and modern molecular techniques. Each student will receive training in an EPSCoR-funded Molecular Ecology and Evolution Laboratory, and take a series of modern laboratory courses in ecological theory, population genetics, and phylogenetic analysis. In addition, five of the eight UVM cluster faculty conduct research on ecological and evolutionary parasitology, providing a leading center for training students in this field. Specific plans for recruiting women and multicultural students are detailed. The UVM Zoology faculty consists of an unusually high proportion of women who can act as mentors for female students; the cluster already has in place agreements with several HBCU's locate promising multicultural students.

GER-9452643 佛蒙特大学 Schall 我们请求支持五个环境生物学研究生研究实习生。这些学生将由佛蒙特大学 (UVM) 动物学系的八名教师进行培训。这个生物学家集群已被选为科学领域的“卓越中心”：国家和 NSF EPSCoR 联合资助将支持该集群的持续研究，该大学最近还为该集群增加了两名教员。 EPSCoR 基金还为研究生提供种子和旅费补助。今天的环境生物学博士生必须将传统的领域和理论生态学与群体遗传学、系统发育分析和现代分子技术结合起来。每位学生都将在 EPSCoR 资助的分子生态学和进化实验室接受培训，并学习一系列生态理论、群体遗传学和系统发育分析等现代实验室课程。此外，UVM 集群的八名教师中有五名从事生态和进化寄生虫学研究，为该领域的学生培训提供了领先的中心。详细介绍了招收女性和多元文化学生的具体计划。 UVM 动物学教师中女性比例异常高，她们可以担任女学生的导师；该集群已与 HBCU 的几位有前途的多元文化学生签订了协议。
