All are welcome to attend. Examples in biology include morphogenesis, pattern formation, angiogenesis, tumour growth, chemotaxis, cytoskeletal mechanics, rabies propagation, seasonal bird migrations, patchy structure of plankton and fish populations. Spatially distributed processes can be modelled at different scales, depending on the features of interest and on the level of aggregation of their components. The purpose of the school is to present recent advances and offer interdisciplinary training in the modelling and the study of spatial structures encountered in biology and ecology. The target audience is advanced graduate students and post-doctoral researchers.
Participants also receive training in data handling and presentation.
The Department of Anatomy is seeking outstanding candidates for a University Lectureship starting 1 January 2001. The Department has research interests in numerous areas, from molecules to ecosystems, with particular strengths inNeurobiology, Development, Molecular Biology and Imaging at cellular and tissue levels. We are interested in candidates working in the area of cellular, developmental, genetic, or systems neurobiology. The appointment will also carry exciting teaching responsibilities in neuroscience for which clinical experience would be an advantage, but not essential. The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is 20,811 per annum, rising by eleven annual increments to 32,095 per annum.
