IRES: Ecology and Evolution of Marine Photosynthetic Organisms at the Station Biologique de Roscoff in France

这个学生国际研究经验项目将为美国研究生提供机会，通过在罗斯科夫生物站（SBR）进行大约三个月的研究停留，获得国际研究经验，这是法国罗斯科夫国家科学研究中心的一个研究所。SBR由Bernard Kloareg主任领导。学生将对海洋光合生物的分子生态学和进化进行研究。SBR接待来自欧洲各地的学生参加玛丽·居里早期职业计划，并领导着欧洲卓越海洋基因组学网络，这是一个大型国际研究联盟。通过该奖项，华盛顿大学每年将获得大约8名美国研究生的资助，在三年的时间里在SBR进行研究。来自华盛顿大学的首席研究员Ginger Armbrust和来自罗格斯大学的首席研究员Paul Falkowski将从全国范围内招募学生参与该项目。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室、分子和细胞生物科学部以及海洋科学部联合支持。在过去的十年中，海洋科学已经通过开发和获取海洋微生物基因组序列和大规模环境数据集和模型输出的大量数据集而发生了变化。早期职业海洋科学家面临的一个挑战是学习如何整合这两种截然不同的空间尺度数据。参加本课程的学生将学习如何在当今国际合作的研究环境中脱颖而出，在这个环境中，拥有不同专业知识的科学家共同努力解决大规模问题。学生将在世界一流的机构从生态学、海洋学、进化、细胞生物学和基因组学等多个角度研究海洋光合生物。更广泛的影响为大约24名美国研究生在法国进行海洋科学研究提供支持，从而为一大群美国学生提供国际研究经验，为他们在全球环境中成功运作做好准备。由于SBR参与了许多国际和欧盟项目，学生访问建立的联系不仅将支持与法国科学家的持久国际合作，还将支持与整个欧洲的研究人员的合作。

0652093ArmbrustThis International Research Experiences for Students project will provide U.S. graduate students with the opportunity to gain international research experience through research stays of approximately three months at the Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR), a research institute of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Roscoff, France. The SBR is led by Director Bernard Kloareg. Students will conduct research on the molecular ecology and evolution of marine photosynthetic organisms. The SBR hosts students from all over Europe participating in the Marie Curie early career program, and it leads the Network of Excellence Marine Genomics Europe, a large international research consortium. Through this award, funding is provided to the University of Washington to support approximately eight U.S. graduate students per year over a three year period to conduct research at SBR. The principal investigator Ginger Armbrust from the University of Washington, and the coPI, Paul Falkowski of Rutgers University, will recruit students from a nationwide pool to participate in the program. This award is jointly supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering, the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, and the Division of Ocean Sciences. Intellectual MeritOver the past decade, marine sciences has been transformed by the development of and access to enormous data sets of both genomic sequences for marine microorganisms and large scale environmental data sets and model output. A challenge for early career marine scientists is to learn how to integrate these two vastly different spatial scales of data. Students participating in this program will learn how to excel in today's research environment of international collaborations where scientists with different expertise work together to tackle large-scale questions. Students will study marine photosynthetic organisms from a variety of perspectives including ecology, oceanography, evolution, cell biology, and genomics at a world-class institution. Broader ImpactsSupport is provided for approximately 24 U.S. graduate students to conduct research in marine sciences in France, thus providing a large group of U.S. students with international research experiences that will prepare them to operate successfully in a global environment. Because SBR is involved in many international and EU projects, the linkages created by the students' visits will support lasting international collaborations not only with French scientists but with researchers throughout Europe.
