Subject: Undergraduate Research Opportunities: U. of Michigan Medical School

The University of Michigan Department of Molecular & Integrative
Physiology offers three summer fellowship programs to support
undergraduate students that are interested in research in physiology
and/or biomedical sciences. Any student who is currently enrolled at
any degree granting University or College is invited to apply, with
preference given to those students interested in a career in
research. Students can be majoring in the biological science,
engineering, computational sciences, physics or mathematics.  In
general, biological science students will join our traditional Summer
Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), quantitative students will
join our Short Term Educational Program (STEP) towards Digestive and
Metabolic Physiology, and students from underrepresented groups and
those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds will join our Summer
Undergraduate Research in Physiology (SURP) Program.  Each student
will be matched, based on his or her interests, to a laboratory that
is led by a faculty member of the Department of Molecular &
Integrative Physiology or of the University of Michigan Medical
School, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The selected laboratories are involved in
nationally recognized research, in topics such as hormones and signal
transduction, obesity and diabetes, reproduction and circadian rhythms
including sleep, gastrointestinal physiology including digestive
diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and hypertension,
renal and pulmonary function, muscle contractile mechanisms, ion
channels and neurophysiology.

There will be a research forum at the end of the summer in which
fellows will present their work, as well as opportunities to attend
research seminars throughout the summer.

Subject: International Workshop on Hybrid Systems & Biology,
        Sept. 3, UK

Call for Papers, HSB 2012 First International Workshop on Hybrid
Systems and Biology, Newcasle upon Tyne, UK, September 3,
2012. Colocated with CONCUR 2012
http://hsb2012.units.it/

The goal of systems biology is to provide a system-level understanding
of biological systems by unveiling their structure, dynamics and
control methods. The intrinsic multi-scale nature of these systems,
both in space, in organization levels, and in time, makes extremely
difficult to model all of them in a uniform way, e.g. by means of
differential equations or discrete stochastic processes. Furthermore
such models are often not easily amenable to formal analysis and
simulation at the organ or even the cell level is frequently
impractical. Indeed, an important open problem is finding appropriate
computational models that scale well for both the simulation and
formal analysis of biological processes. Hybrid modeling techniques,
combining discrete and continuous processes, are gaining more and more
attention in systems biology, and they have been applied to
successfully capture the behavior of several biological complex
systems, ranging from genetic networks, biochemical reactions,
signaling pathways and cardiac tissues electrophysiology.  This
workshop aims at collecting scientists working in the area of hybrid
modeling applied to systems biology, in order to discuss about current
achieved goals, current challenges and future possible developments.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Hybrid models of biological systems (case studies of genetic,
 cellular networks,models of tissues, etc.)
* Computational and mathematical analysis techniques for hybrid
 systems (i.e. reachability, model checking, abstract interpretation,
 bifurcation theory for hybrid dynamical systems, etc.), with
 applications in Systems Biology.
* Hybrid system identification techniques (learning the model from the
 experimental data)
* Efficient simulation techniques for hybrid systems.
* Hybrid modeling languages for biological systems.
* Hybrid systems coping with incomplete and uncertain information.
* Sensitivity analysis for hybrid systems.
* Behaviour-driven parameters identification for hybrid systems.
* Analysis and simulation tools.

We solicit the submission of unpublished results that address on both
theoretical and applied aspects of hybrid modeling techniques in
systems biology.  The proceedings will be published in the Electronic
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series. A special
issue in a journal will be considered at the end of the workshop.

Paper submission Full papers should be no more than 15 pages long,
typesetted in the EPTCS-style.  Electronic submissions of abstracts
and of full-length papers (in PDF format), can be done through the
online submission system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?confhsb2012

Important dates
June 15, 2012  Abstract submission
June 22, 2012  Full paper submission
July 30, 2012  Notification of paper acceptance

PhD studentship in Mathematical biology, University of Liverpool, UK

Funded Studentship available in ?Modelling the community context of
host-parasite interactions?

There is great interest in the community context of host-parasite
associations ? hosts and parasites are not isolated, but are embedded
within wider ecological communities. This NERC funded studentship will
develop a general theoretical framework for these interactions by
developing a range of network-based mathematical models to explore how
parasites spread through, and alter the stability of, ecological
communities.

The student will be based in the Institute of Integrative Biology at
the University of Liverpool, and will work closely with biologists
working on natural host-parasite communities, and mathematicians with
expertise in network theory.  The project would suit a student with
strengths in mathematical or computational biology, and network and/or
ecological theory.

This studentship is fully funded for UK residents, but fees only for
EU citizens. For informal enquiries please contact Dr Andy Fenton
(a.fenton@liverpool.ac.uk).  Applicants should send a CV, cover letter
and contact details of two academic referees to Mrs Linda Marsh
