If you have interest in studying Mathematical Biology at the University of Utah, you need to be aware of the IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training) program. Because of a grant from the National Science Foundation, we are able to offer several fellowships to study in our Cross-Disciplinary Program in Mathematical Biology. These fellowships will give students the opportunity to pursue a broad program of study that includes life science courses outside the Mathematics Department and work in a laboratory during the summer.

If you are interested in being considered for this program, 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 April 1). 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 an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to apply for the IGERT fellwoship.

We look forward to receiving your application.
