Demography and Ecology

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请要求为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校人口统计和生态中心的人口研究培训提供额外五年的支持。虽然我们已经扩大了跨学科活动和培训的广度，但我们要求的博士后(8人)和博士后(1人)津贴的数量是相同的。人口与生态中心近50年来一直提供世界级的人口科学培训计划。它的毕业生是最著名的人口学家和人口学家之一。该培训计划基于四个关键要素：从事创新研究的优秀和多样化的教师；有能力和敬业的研究生；为教师和学生的研究和学习提供的高质量资源；以及结合课程工作和研究经验的精心设计和全面实施的课程。自2009年以来，CDE一直是文理学院的一个独立单位，提高了其知名度，并促进了校园内智力联系的发展。新的 跨部门和学科之间更紧密的联系增强了学生的跨学科培训体验。过去五年，CDE的研究项目组合中的国际组成部分大幅增长，产生了一系列多样化的国际项目和研究网络，学生可以通过这些项目和研究网络制定自己的国际研究议程。CDE培训学院的45名成员为学生提供了丰富的课程和非凡的机会 参与各种各样的研究项目。CDE的基础设施助学金、个人助学金和大学支持为学生提供的研究资源非常出色。再加上要求严格的课程和密集的学徒制度，CDE的人力和物力资源为人口研究的博士前和博士后培训创造了最好的环境之一。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests five additional years of support for training in population research at the Center for Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Although we have expanded our interdisciplinary activities and the breadth of our training, we are requesting the same number of predoctoral (8) and postdoctoral (1) stipends. The Center for Demography and Ecology has for nearly 50 years offered a world-class program of training in population science. Its graduates are among the most renowned demographers and population scientists. The training program is based on four critical ingredients: outstanding and diverse faculty conducting innovative research; capable and committed graduate students; high-quality resources for faculty and student research and study; and a well-designed and fully implemented curriculum combining course work and research experience. Since 2009 CDE has been an independent unit in the College of Letters & Science, raising its visibility and facilitating the development of intellectual linkages across campus. New and stronger ties across departments and disciplines enhance students' interdisciplinary training experiences. The international components of CDE's research portfolio have grown extensively in the past five years, producing a diverse set of international projects and research networks through which students can develop their own international research agenda. The 45 members of the CDE training faculty offer a rich curriculum and extraordinary opportunities for students to participate on a wide variety of research projects. Research resources provided to students from CDE's infrastructure grant, individual grants, and university support are outstanding. Together with a demanding curriculum and an intensive apprenticeship system, CDE's human and material resources produce one of the best available environments for pre- and postdoctoral training in population research.
