Financial Assistance:
Several fellowships for
beginning graduate students to enter our new NSF-IGERT
Interdisciplinary Program for
Training and Research in
Mathematical Biology are available. Supported students will include in their
program of study several introductory Life Science courses,
participate in a journal club, and do a lab rotation during the
summer. To apply for this program applicants MUST
include in their application to the Mathematics Department a brief statement to
this effect, along with a paragraph describing their background and
interest in biology and the life sciences.
The Department also provides teaching assistantships to students that are accepted with
funding; research assistantships are also available from individual faculty
research grants.
Application Procedures:
Participants in this program must meet the regular application requirements of the
Graduate Program in Mathematics. This does not mean, however, that
an undergraduate degree must be in Mathematics. Students with
strong quantitative skills, regardless of undergraduate major are encouraged to apply. The program of
study will be modified as appropriate to accomodate a diversity of
mathematical
backgrounds. Applicants for the IGERT program MUST include
in their application to the Mathematics Department a brief statement to
this effect, along with a paragraph describing their background and
interest in biology and the life sciences.
Please contact the
graduate program in the Department
of Mathematics for application forms and information on deadlines or you
can obtain these
electronically. To receive a brochure describing the IGERT program
