The 2010 Workshops on Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases will
be held at Cornell University in Ithaca NY, June 6-9, 2010. This
follows the annual Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases
Meeting also being held at in Ithaca June 3-5, 2010
(http://www.eeid.cornell.edu/EEID_2010.html).
Workshops are designed to provide graduate students, post-doctoral
researchers, and other researchers with skills for modeling and
analysis of ecological and evolutionary processes affecting
infectious disease dynamics. Emphasis is on analyses using the
program R. Separate workshops, offered in parallel, are designed
focus on either Ecology or Evolution of infectious diseases.
The year's workshop will follow the same format as previous year's
workshops held at Colorado State University
(http://rydberg.biology.colostate.edu/EEID2008/eeidworkshop.html),
University of Georgia
(http://www.eeidconference.org/Workshops/index.html), Penn State
University, and Cornell University.
A web page with further details for this year's workshop will be
available soon, an application form is attached here.
Applications for the workshop are due April 2, 2010. Funding from
the National Science Foundation will cover the workshop fee and up to
$500 travel assistance for 40 graduate students or post-doctoral
researchers (funding is for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or
non-US nationals in good standing at U.S. universities
only). Funding will be provided to individuals to attend either the
Ecology or Evolution workshop one time, and we encourage previous
attendees of either and Ecology or Evolution workshop to apply for
the parallel workshop this year.
