DIALOG: Fostering Early Career Development Across the Aquatic Sciences

湖沼学和海洋学博士论文计划（DIALOG）是一个跨学科的项目，它通过几个专业协会来针对最近的博士学位获得者，这些博士学位获得者涉及与生物导向的水生科学相关的所有学科。该项目将量化和描述最近的水生科学博士学位，整合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一次国际“顶点”研讨会，以促进跨学科的洞察力，同行网络和早期职业发展。DIALOG将促进国际和国内合作。机构联系，包括来自发展中国家和发达国家的毕业生。人口数据将有助于确定和跟踪人力资源。在吗?在线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洁的新研究总结，并促进新一代研究人员融入更广泛的社区。电子分发清单将提供一种机制，以便在各机构之间定向和传播信息，并促进跨学科和国际边界的交流。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。活动将建立同行网络，增强洞察力和观点，以加速职业发展和推进跨学科的科学方法。

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.
