The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis
(NIMBioS) is now accepting applications for its Tutorial, "Network
Modeling," to be held February 4-6, 2019, at NIMBioS.

*Objectives:* This tutorial aims to introduce faculty, post-docs &
graduate students to the topic of complex networks. The field has grown
tremendously over the last 20 years and network science has found
numerous applications to fields such as biology, ecology, social
sciences, physical sciences, computer science, technology, and urban
planning. The tutorial will review in detail the main ideas and methods
in network science with emphasis on both conceptual aspects and
real-world applications. Hands-on activities will help the audience
familiarize themselves with practical ways to potentially incorporate
network analysis in their own research. No prior knowledge of networks
or programming is required.

*Location:* NIMBioS at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville

*Co-Organizers:* Nina Fefferman , Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Univ.
of Tennessee; Lazaros Gallos, DIMACS, Rutgers Univ.; Gonzalo Suarez,
Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Univ. of Tennessee

For more information about the tutorial and a link to the online
application form, go to http://www.nimbios.org/tutorials/TT_networks

Participation in NIMBioS tutorials is by application only. Individuals
with a strong interest in the topic are encouraged to apply, and
successful applicants will be notified within two weeks after the
application deadline. Limited travel support is available for those with
a demonstrated need.

*Application deadline: November 18, 2018*

The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis
(NIMBioS) (http://www.nimbios.org) brings together researchers from
around the world to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to
investigate solutions to basic and applied problems in the life
sciences. NIMBioS is supported by the National Science Foundation, with
additional support from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
