The program is designed to provide research training in biology, focusing on complex processes at the cellular , organismal, and population levels that involve nonlinear dynamics. Curriculum and training in the areas of Cell and Neurobiology , Biofluiddynamics, and Population and Evolutionary Biology stresses both computational and experimental methods. Graduate students will be selected from applicants to PhD programs in Departments and Graduate Group at UC Davis.
Financial support is available for all graduate trainees.
Competitive Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for outstanding students holding a PhD degree. Current UC Davis undergraduates are also eligible to join the program. Applicants should have a strong interest in biological research problems that involve nonlinear dynamics. Applications from outstanding students with backgrounds in biology, scientific computation, engineering, physics, chemistry or mathematics or some combination of these areas are strongly encouraged. Research training will be centered at the Institute of Theoretical Dynamics , with additional facilities available at the Center for Population Biology , the Center for Neuroscience , and the Bodega Marine Station .
