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

0652093ArmbrustThis国际研究经验的学生项目将提供美国研究生有机会获得国际研究经验，通过研究停留约三个月的站生物德罗斯科夫（SBR），该中心的国家科学研究中心在罗斯科夫，法国的研究所。 SBR由导演Bernard Kloareg领导。 学生将进行海洋光合生物的分子生态学和进化研究。 SBR接待来自欧洲各地的学生参加玛丽居里早期职业计划，它领导了欧洲卓越海洋基因组学网络，这是一个大型国际研究财团。 通过这个奖项，资金提供给华盛顿大学，以支持大约八个美国研究生每年在三年内进行研究SBR。 主要研究者来自华盛顿大学的Ginger Armbrust和coPI，罗格斯大学的Paul Falkowski将从全国范围内招募学生参加该计划。 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共同支持。 过去十年来，海洋科学因海洋微生物基因组序列的巨大数据集以及大规模环境数据集和模型输出的开发和获取而发生了变化。 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。 参加该计划的学生将学习如何在当今的国际合作研究环境中脱颖而出，在这种环境中，具有不同专业知识的科学家共同努力解决大规模问题。 学生将从各种角度研究海洋光合生物，包括生态学，海洋学，进化，细胞生物学和基因组学。 为大约24名美国研究生在法国进行海洋科学研究提供了支持，从而为一大群美国学生提供了国际研究经验，使他们能够在全球环境中成功运作。 由于SBR参与了许多国际和欧盟项目，学生访问所建立的联系将支持不仅与法国科学家，而且与整个欧洲的研究人员的持久国际合作。

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.
