DIALOG: Fostering Early Career Development Across the Aquatic Sciences

促进湖沼学和海洋学论文倡议(DIALOG)是一个跨学科项目，它通过几个专业协会，面向与生物相关的水生科学相关的所有学科的新近获得博士学位的学生。该项目将量化和描述最近的水产科学博士，巩固和传播博士论文摘要，建立电子列表以促进工作机会的分配，并为选定的应届毕业生举办国际“顶峰”研讨会，以促进跨学科洞察力、同行网络和早期职业发展。对话将促进国际和机构间的联系，包括来自发展中国家和发达国家的毕业生。人口统计数据将有助于确定和跟踪人力资源。在线学位论文登记处将为科学家、政策制定者和机构代表提供全面而简明的新研究摘要，并促进新一代研究人员融入更广泛的社区。电子分发名单将提供一种机制，以确定目标并在各机构之间传播信息，并促进跨学科和跨国际边界的沟通。国际研讨会将支持各级参与者的多样性，并将工作超越传统界限的个人聚集在一起。这些活动将建立同行网络，增强洞察力和观点，以加快职业发展并推动跨学科的科学方法。

The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and OceanoGraphy (DIALOG) is an interdisciplinary project that works through several professional societies to target recent Ph.D. recipients across the full spectrum of disciplines relevant to the biologically oriented aquatic sciences. This project will quantify and characterize recent aquatic science Ph.D.s, consolidate and disseminate Ph.D. dissertation abstracts, establish electronic lists to facilitate distribution of job opportunities, and run an international "capstone" symposium for selected recent graduates to foster interdisciplinary insight, peer networking, and early career development. DIALOG will foster international as well as inter?institutional contacts, and include graduates from both developing and developed countries. Demographic data will facilitate the characterization and tracking of human resources. The on?line Dissertation Registry will provide a comprehensive yet concise summary of new research for scientists, policy makers, and agency representatives and facilitates integration of a new generation of researchers into the broader community. The electronic distribution list will provide a mechanism to target and disseminate information across institutions and foster communication across disciplinary and international boundaries. The international symposium will support participant diversity at all levels, and bring together individuals whose work transcends traditional boundaries. Activities will establish peer networks and enhance insights and perspectives to accelerate career development and advance interdisciplinary approaches to science.
