VIII ICTP-SAIFR Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology

Start time: January 14, 2019

Ends on: January 19, 2019

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Venue: IFT-UNESP

Description:

This school is aimed at graduate students in Physics, Mathematics, Ecology and Epidemiology, having at least a basic knowledge of calculus and differential equations. Lectures cover the basics of population dynamics and are supplemented with modelling exercises addressing mainly problems in ecology, epidemiology and evolution. Undergraduate students with exceptional records are also encouraged to apply. Limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.

This activity will be followed by the 'Joint ICTP-SAIFR/ICTP-Trieste School on Mathematical Models of Evolution'. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.

Please note that acceptance cannot be taken for granted, as we expect a much higher number of applications than the maximum number of participants. We advise the candidates to carefully complete the application form, providing enough information for the selection committee to take a decision.

Joint ICTP-SAIFR/ICTP-Trieste School on Mathematical Models of Evolution

Start time: January 21, 2019

Ends on: January 26, 2019

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Venue: IFT-UNESP

Description:

Although new experimental technology is partly responsible for the current revolution in biological research, theoretical models developed by physicists are also playing an important role in changing the way biological research is being performed. The number of theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians migrating into biology has dramatically increased throughout the world, but South America still lags behind.

The one-week school on mathematical models on evolution, co-organized with the Abdus Salam ICTP in Trieste, will feature lectures by physicists and applied biologists who have made important contributions to this area of biological research.  The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences.

This activity will be preceded by the 'VIII Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology'. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.
