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.
