Research and Training Opportunities at NIMBioS
Society for Mathematical Biology Annual Meeting
NIMBioS and the University of Tennessee will co-host the 2012 Annual Meeting and Conference of the Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB), to be held July 25-28. This year's conference theme is Mathematics and Biology: Interdisciplinary Connections and Living Systems. Acceptance decisions for minisymposium proposals will be made by February 13. Abstract submission for contributed oral and poster presentations begins February 13, with a deadline of March 30. Visit the conference website and follow conference details on Twitter @MathBio2012.
Call for Applications: NIMBioS REU/REV Summer Program
The 2012 NIMBioS Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) will be held June 11 - August 3. During the eight-week program, participants will live on campus and work in teams with professors on research at the interface of mathematics and biology. Undergraduates in math, biology and related fields and high school math and biology teachers are encouraged to apply. Application deadline: February 17, 2012.

Communication in Collaboration Workshop
Collaboration across disciplines can spur major advances in scientific research. Yet, those involved in interdisciplinary research often confront obstacles to healthy collaboration. NIMBioS is now accepting applications for the Communication in Collaboration Workshop, to be held July 29-30, 2012. This hands-on, training workshop will teach the tools and techniques to foster effective collaboration. Application deadline: March 1, 2012. For more information about the workshop and how to apply, click here.
Investigative Workshop Modeling Dengue Fever
More than one-third of the world's population lives in areas at risk for the transmission of dengue, a vector-transmitted disease, that is one of the leading causes of death and illness in the tropics and subtropics. This workshop, to be held July 23,-24, 2012, will bring together public health officials as well as mathematicians, biologists and epidemiologists to identify important modeling issues and to establish possible new collaborations on modeling dengue disease dynamics and control. Application deadline: March 1, 2012. For more information about the workshop and how to apply, click here.
Call for Postdoctoral Fellowships
NIMBioS considers applications for postdoctoral scholarship three times per year: March 1, September 1, and December 11. We are particularly interested in requests to support research that integrates diverse fields, requires synthesis at multiple scales, and/or makes use of or requires development of new mathematical/computational approaches. Complete the online application and submit a brief project description, references, and CV following the guidelines available at http://www.nimbios.org/postdocs/.

Requests for NIMBioS Support
Requests for NIMBioS support for Working Groups, Investigative Workshops, and Sabbatical Fellows are considered two times per year, with deadlines on March 1 and September 1. March 1, 2012 is the deadline for activities beginning in Fall 2012. Applications for Short-term Visits are considered four times a year, with deadlines on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. All areas of research at the interface of biology and mathematics will be considered, but we are especially interested in activities expanding beyond the areas of research supported to date. Potential organizers of activities in areas of molecular biology, cell biology, network biology, immunology and systems biology are particularly encouraged to submit requests for support of Working Groups or Investigative Workshops. Click here for a flyer describing support for working groups and investigative workshops.
Apply for the Teacher Collaboration Program
NIMBioS is now accepting applications from math and biology/science teachers for the Teacher Collaboration Program, which provides links between teachers, scientists, and educators with an interest in making connections between mathematics and biology. NIMBioS will pair teachers with an interest in mathematics and biology with active researchers in the math biology community. For more information about the program and how to apply click here.
