I got to interact with world class scientists, I saw interdisciplinary synergy, I saw how science is done when done well. We encourage applications from outstanding students with backgrounds in biology, scientific computation, engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics or some combination of these areas. Applicants should have a strong interest in biological research problems that involve nonlinear dynamics and have completed a year-long course in calculus. Applicants who wish to improve their mathematical training prior to becoming full participants in the RTG may be admitted initially as associates, as outlined on the fellowships page. Graduate trainees will be selected from applicants to PhD programs in Departments and Graduate Groups 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 also are eligible to join the program, with financial support available to applicants who meet selection criteria. 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 Laboratory , as well as the laboratories of individual faculty participating in the training grant.
