The proposed system builds directly on years of prior work. It is made feasible by systems already in place as a result of this prior work and builds on our collateral development activities. The ability to easily formulate temporal ad hoc analyses of biological collections data distributed across national and international networks will leverage 300 years of biological earth inventory by engaging species information in a national analytical and computational infrastructure. There is an immediate opportunity for a Graduate Research Assistantship for a qualified Ph.D. student in Computer Science or a combination of Computer Science and some Biodiversity-related Science. Applicant must be accepted to the EECS graduate program.
Funding based on satisfactory progress is available for up to four years.
For admission requirements, see EECS Graduate Programs .
