A PhD Research Assistantship (RA) University of Idaho
MathModeling_SpatialStructure_VirusAdaptation
A PhD Research Assistantship (RA) is available to work with Professor
Steve Krone at the University of Idaho. The RA will work on the
mathematical modeling component of a study of adaptive evolution of
bacteriophages growing in spatially structured environments and subject
to fluctuating environmental conditions. This is an opportunity to be
part of a highly interdisciplinary research project that combines
experimental evolution and mathematical modeling. The RA will interact
with mathematical modelers in other projects and with Krone’s phage lab,
which is one of three in the UI Department of Biological Sciences; the
other two (Brown and Wichman) phage labs are in close proximity and help
to provide a collaborative and stimulating environment.
This project (Spatial Structure and Adaptive Evolution of Viruses) is
one of four supported by the renewal of our $9.7 million NIH Center of
Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant. The RA will be part of our
IBEST group at UI (http://www.ibest.uidaho.edu/ibest/index.html), a dynamic and interdisciplinary research group with excellent resources,
and will have the option of working on a Ph.D. in either Mathematics or
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
Qualifications: Student should be highly motivated, have a strong
mathematical background and ability to code in C++. Knowledge of Unix
and data structures would be helpful. Although no prior background in
biology is necessary, the student should have a serious desire to learn
about microbial population biology. Mathematically inclined biology
students will also be considered.
The stipend pays US$20,000 per year and tuition, fees, and health
insurance are covered. In addition, funds are available to attend
conferences.
HOW TO APPLY: For preliminary screening, email a statement of background
and interests, TOEFL scores (for foreign applicants), GRE scores (if you
have them), and a copy of transcripts of academic courses taken.
Starting date is flexible.
Contact: Steve Krone (krone@uidaho.edu) to apply and for further
information.
