How To Apply

The Math Biology program is a part of the Mathematics Department graduate program, and application is made for graduate study in the Mathematics Department. For information on how to apply to the Mathematics graduate program, please click here.

If you are interested in being considered for an IGERT fellowship, we ask that you write a separate letter, addressed to the IGERT Fellowship Committee, to include in your application to the Mathematics Department. In this letter, you should state your interest in interdisciplinary study of Mathematical Biology, along with a summary of your background or experience in biology. Please note that a background in Biology is not a requirement for support, but it does help us gauge your level of interest and commitment, which is important.

You are strongly encouraged to submit your completed application by January 31 (even though the departmental deadline is not until much later). This will allow qualified applicants to attend our annual interview/recruiting weekend, which is usually held on the last weekend in February.

Take a look at the IGERT Program or Mathematical Biology websites for further information. Please note that a student must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be eligible for IGERT fellwoship support.

We look forward to receiving your application.
