The National Institute for
Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) is now accepting
applications for the Research Collaboration Workshop for Women in
Mathematical Biology, to be held June 22-25, 2015, at NIMBioS.
Objectives: This collaborative workshop aims to help build
a strong collaboration network of women working on problems in
mathematical biology, by facilitating the formation of new
collaborative research groups and encouraging them to continue to
work together after the workshop. Junior women (tenure track faculty, post-docs
and advanced graduate students) in biology, mathematics and
related fields are encouraged to apply. The format of this
workshop is designed to maximize the opportunities to collaborate:
There will be four
teams. Each team will be led by two senior women researchers
and will work collaboratively on a specific project.
Team members will be
chosen from applicants and will consist of junior researchers
from both mathematics and biology.
Team members can
express their project preference in their application
Each team will work
intensely and present their findings at the end of the
workshop.
Each team is
expected to continue their research and obtain results for a
joint publication.
Projects:
Aerodynamics of spider ballooning; sleep, circadian rhythms and
pain; blood flow autoregulation in the kidney; and modeling the
effects of antimicrobial therapy on gut microbiota and Clostridium
difficile
Location: NIMBioS at the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville
Co-Organizer: Anita Layton, Mathematics, Duke Univ.
Participation in the workshop is by application only; 3-4
participants will be selected for each team. Successful applicants
will be notified within two weeks of the application deadline. If
needed, financial support for travel, meals, and lodging is
available for workshop attendees.
Application deadline: March 1, 2015
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 sponsored by the
National Science Foundation, with additional support from The
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
