DESCRIPTION: My career goal is to be a leader in evolutionary ecology as a faculty member at a first-tier research university. To reach this goal, I envision building upon my background in field-based ecological research by pairing it with the pursuit of detailed mechanistic and genetic-network based approaches. The NRSA fellowship could provide me with the opportunity to build upon my ecological skills by developing genetic and genomic tools for an emerging ecological model organism. As a NRSA postdoctoral fellow and eventually as an independent researcher, I want to understand how genotypes vary in their sensitivity to heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metal toxicity has clear medical implications, but is also important for understanding patterns of plant diversity and speciation that track soil chemistry, and is increasingly important for agricultural production in polluted soils. I see this as an area with great research potential and importance.

描述：我的职业目标是作为一流研究型大学的教员，成为进化生态学领域的领导者。为了实现这一目标，我设想以我在实地生态研究的背景为基础，将其与对详细机制和基于遗传网络的方法的追求相结合。 NRSA 奖学金可以为我提供机会，通过为新兴生态模型生物开发遗传和基因组工具来增强我的生态技能。作为一名 NRSA 博士后研究员，并最终作为一名独立研究员，我想了解基因型对重金属毒性的敏感性如何变化。重金属毒性具有明显的医学意义，但对于理解追踪土壤化学的植物多样性和物种形成模式也很重要，并且对于污染土壤的农业生产也越来越重要。我认为这是一个具有巨大研究潜力和重要性的领域。
