Applications are due by March 15. The program is designed to provide graduate students with research training that will allow them to address questions in biology using computational and mathematical modelling. Specifically, our trainees focus on complex processes in cell biology, neuroscience, biofluiddynamics, ecology, and population biology that involve nonlinear dynamics. The curriculum includes training in computational, mathematical, and experimental methods. Students are mentored by faculty trainers, postdoctoral researchers, and more advanced graduate students in both formal and informal settings.
Financial support is available for all graduate trainees.
Admission to the graduate training program requires strong interest in biological research that involves nonlinear dynamics, acceptance to a graduate program at UC Davis, and a year-long course in calculus. We strongly encourage additional coursework in mathematics, computer science, and biology. In addition, we seek postdoctoral fellows in biofluiddynamics, cell or neurobiology, and population biology or ecology. Application materials for postdocs also can be found on the web page.
