 Dear Sir/Madam,

 I would like to ask you to announce the ICTP-SAIFR January Schools on
 Mathematical Biology and Physics Applications in Biology to be held at
 IFT-UNESP/São Paulo-Brazil among students, post-docs and young
 investigators. The deadline to submit the applications is October
 30th, 2015.

 More information can be found below or here:
http://www.ictp-saifr.org/mathbio5 and here:
http://www.ictp-saifr.org/bioapp

 I appreciate your consideration.

 Kind Regards,
 Jandira

V ICTP-SAIFR Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology
Start time: January 4, 2016

Ends on: January 10, 2016

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Venue: IFT-UNESP

Organizers:
Marcel Clerc (Univ. Chile), Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil), Paulo
Inácio Prado (USP/SP, Brazil)

Lecturer:
Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil) – Introduction to Population Biology

1)    single species dynamics
2)    interacting species I: competition
3)    interacting species II: predator-prey dynamics
4)    models in epidemiology
5)    spatial population dynamics

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. There is no registration fee.

This activity will be followed by the ‘School on Physics Applications in
Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools.

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.

In order to have an idea of the kind of activities that take place during
the course, please visit the home-page of the first four editions of this
school at http://www.ictp-saifr.org/mathbio,
http://www.ictp-saifr.org/mathbio2, http://www.ictp-saifr.org/mathbio3 and
http://www.ictp-saifr.org/mathbio4.

Application deadline: October 30, 2015

ICTP-SAIFR School on Physics Applications in Biology
Start time: January 11, 2016

Ends on: January 29, 2016

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Venue: IFT-UNESP

Organizers:

Marcus Aguiar (UNICAMP, Brazil)
Nathan Berkovits (ICTP-SAIFR /  IFT-UNESP, Brazil)
Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil)
Gabriel Mindlin (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Minicourse Lecturers:

Vijay Balasubramanian (University of Pennsylvania, USA)
William Bialek (Princeton University, USA)
Eberhard Bodenschatz (Max Planck Institute – Göttingen, Germany)
Ulf Dieckmann (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis –
IIASA, Austria)
Philip Holmes (Princeton University, USA)
Stanislas Leibler (IAS Princeton/Rockfeller University, USA)
Jorge M. Pacheco (Universidade do Minho, Portugal)
Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center – Yorktown
Heights, USA)
Seminar Speakers:

Silvina P. Dawson (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Celso Grebogi (Aberdeen University, UK)
José N. Onuchic (Rice University, USA)
Francisco C. Santos (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal)
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 migrating into biology has dramatically increased throughout the
world, but South America still lags behind.

The three-week school on Physics Application in Biology will feature
lectures by physicists who have made important contributions to different
areas of biological research. This activity will include minicourses,
seminars, discussion sessions and group projects on topics including
neuroscience, evolutionary dynamics, biophysics, collective behavior,
pattern formation and optimization. The school is intended for graduate
students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological
sciences. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for
travel and local expenses.

This activity will be preceded by the ‘V Southern-Summer School on
Mathematical Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools.

Application deadline: October 30, 2015
