NSERC CREATE in Technologies for Exo-Planetary Science (TEPS)

我们生活在一个非凡的时代，每年都有数百颗新行星被发现，改写了我们对宇宙和我们在宇宙中的位置的理解。为了利用大量的新数据，机器人、航空航天、遥感、自适应光学和光谱学等领域的尖端技术正在发展。科学家必须与工程师和行业合作伙伴携手合作，在加拿大过去的进步基础上再接再厉，实现明天的重大新发现。拟议的系外行星科学技术（TEPS）CREATE培训方案将充分利用加拿大对詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜、OSIRIS-Rex小行星样本返回和30米望远镜等突破性设施和任务的重大投资，以及加拿大创新基金会对加拿大行星模拟器和SPIRou红外光谱仪共同申请人的赠款，将我们的学员定位在快速发展和令人兴奋的系外行星科学领域的最前沿。我们将通过为学生和博士后研究员提供创新和协作的培训环境，结合实习，学生流动性和专业培训来实现CREATE计划的主要目标，以解决与加拿大先进制造战略研究优先事项相关的科学挑战。该计划将为学员提供填补就业市场空白所需的专业知识和技能的广度和深度，特别是在机器人，航空航天，光学技术和太空探索等关键工业领域。

We live in a remarkable age when hundreds of new planets are being discovered every year, rewriting our understanding of the universe and our place within it. To exploit the deluge of new data, cutting-edge technologies are being developed in robotics, aerospace, remote sensing, adaptive optics and spectroscopy. Scientists must work hand-in-hand with engineers and industry partners to build on Canada's past advances and enable major new discoveries of tomorrow. The proposed Technologies for Exo-Planetary Science (TEPS) CREATE Training Program will take full advantage of Canada's major investments in such breakthrough facilities and missions as the James Webb Space Telescope, the OSIRIS-Rex Asteroid Sample Return and the Thirty Meter Telescope, as well as Canada Foundation for Innovation grants to our co-applicants for the Canadian Planetary Simulator and the SPIRou infrared spectrometer, to position our trainees at the forefront of the rapidly developing and exciting field of exo-planetary science. We will achieve the primary objectives of the CREATE program by offering students and postdoctoral fellows innovative and collaborative training environments, incorporating internships, student mobility and professional training to address scientific challenges associated with Canada's strategic research priority in Advanced Manufacturing. The program will provide trainees with the breadth and depth of expertise and skills required to fill gaps in job markets, specifically in the key industrial sectors of robotics, aerospace, optical technologies and space exploration.
