Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Informatics for FY 2003

该行动为2003财政年度NSF跨学科信息学博士后研究奖学金提供资金。该奖学金支持生物学与信息、计算、数学和统计科学交叉领域的博士后研究和培训。该研究金的目标是向青年科学家提供培训，为从事生物信息学方面的研究和教育相结合的职业做准备。这些奖学金为生物学和信息学的跨学科研究和教育活动提供了机会，以广泛的近期博士获得者。越来越需要在所有职业级别上进行生物信息学培训，预期通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来工作人员方面发挥重要作用。这项研究和培训计划的标题是“结合遗传和化石数据，重建过去的生态、进化和气候”。该研究为将种群遗传和化石数据结合到单一贝叶斯分析中重建共存物种的历史提供了一种新的方法。这种协同方法正被应用于当前不同类型的全球可访问信息的范围，并将有利于古生态学和系统地理学领域。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Informatics for fiscal year 2003. The fellowship supports research and training at the postdoctoral level at the intersection of biology and the informational, computational, mathematical, and statistical sciences. The goal of the fellowship is to provide training to a young scientist in preparation for a career in biological informatics in which research and education will be integrated. These fellowships provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and educational activities in biology and informatics to a wide range of recent doctoral recipients. There is an increasing need for training in biological informatics at all occupational levels, and it is expected that Fellows trained through these fellowships will play important roles in training the future workforce. The research and training plan is entitled "Combining genetic and fossil data to reconstruct the ecological, evolutionary and climatic past." This research provides a new way to reconstruct the history of coexisting species by combining population genetic and fossil data into a single Bayesian analysis. This synergistic methodology is being applied to the current range of different types of globally accessible information and will benefit the fields of paleoecology and phylogeography.
