Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship: Development of Marine and Seawater Pollution Database Across Continents

Omowunmi Sadik将与尼日利亚科学家合作开发新方法，以降低非洲沿海海洋污染物的成本。尼日利亚海洋学和海洋研究所和拉各斯大学将与位于宾厄姆顿的纽约州立大学合作，建立一个关于金属、氯化有机物、硝酸盐、磷酸盐和硅酸盐的海洋污染数据库。来自美国和尼日利亚的学生将在研究项目上合作，提供全球参与和培训的模式。该奖项由化学部，国际科学与工程办公室和多学科活动办公室共同资助。探索军团奖学金计划是一项试点计划，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将联合收割机研究专业知识与面向服务的项目相结合。探索队计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Omowunmi Sadik will partner with Nigerian scientists to develop new methods for lower cost electrochemical analysis of marine pollutants in coastal Africa. The Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research and the University of Lagos will partner with the State University of New York at Binghamton to create a marine pollution database for metals, chlorinated organics, nitrates, phosphates and silicates. Students from the US and Nigeria will work together on the research project, providing a model of global engagement and training. This award is cofunded by the Division of Chemistry, the Office of International Science and Engineering, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with a service-oriented project. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
