V ICTP-SAIFR Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology<br>
Start time: January 4, 2016<br>
<br>
Ends on: January 10, 2016<br>
<br>
Location: São Paulo, Brazil<br>
<br>
Venue: IFT-UNESP<br>
<br>
Organizers:<br>
Marcel Clerc (Univ. Chile), Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil), Paulo Inácio Prado (USP/SP, Brazil)<br>
<br>
Lecturer:<br>
Roberto Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP, Brazil) – Introduction to Population Biology<br>
<br>
1) single species dynamics<br>
2) interacting species I: competition<br>
3) interacting species II: predator-prey dynamics<br>
4) models in epidemiology<br>
5) spatial population dynamics<br>
<br>
Description:<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This activity will be followed by the ‘School on Physics Applications in Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>

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