Technician Support: Phase I: A Multi-purpose Environmental Analytical Laboratory at UC Merced

EAR-0518860培训第一阶段技术支持将为加州大学默塞德分校(UCM)环境分析实验室(EAL)的实验室经理提供部分工资支持，这是UC系统的第十个校区，也是近35年来第一个新的UC校区。多学科和跨学科的环境和生物研究是UCM第一个研究、研究生和本科课程的核心，大多数最初的科学和工程教师在各种环境和生物研究领域工作。EAL实验室经理将监督这个校园分析设施的运作，以支持不同教职员工和研究科学家之间的跨学科环境研究。该实验室将支持对本科生、研究生和博士后科学家进行现代分析方法的培训。实验室经理还将在研究项目上与教职员工合作，与教职员工合作将仪器使用纳入课堂和推广活动，并为开发新的分析方法做出贡献。目前，由NSF资助的UCM将利用EAL的研究课题包括农药的非生物转化调查、格陵兰冰芯的化学分析、全球水文调查计划、环境传感器网络和砷的生物地球化学转化。

EAR-0518860TrainaPhase I Technician Support will provide partial salary support for the laboratory manager of the Environmental Analytical Laboratory (EAL) at the University of California, Merced (UCM), the tenth campus of the UC system and the first new UC campus in nearly 35 years. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary environmental and biological research is the core of the first research, graduate, and undergraduate programs at UCM, with a majority of initial science and engineering faculty working in a variety of environmental and biological research areas. The EAL lab manager will oversee the operations of this campus analytical facility in support of interdisciplinary environmental research among a diverse group of faculty and research scientists. The laboratory will support the training of undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral scientists in modern analytical methods. The laboratory manager will also collaborate with faculty on research projects, work with faculty to incorporate instrument use into classes and outreach activities, and contribute to the development of novel analytical methods. Currently NSF-funded research topics at UCM that will utilize EAL include investigations on abiotic transformations of pesticides, chemical analyses of Greenland ice cores, hydrologic investigations within the GLOBE program, environmental sensor networks, and biogeochemical transformations of arsenic.
