Looking for a fun and challenging research experience this summer? The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) is now taking applications for its eight-week long summer research program for undergraduates (REU) interested in research at the interface between mathematics and biology. The program takes place June 11 - August 3, 2012 on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, campus. Undergraduate majors in biology, math, and related fieldswill live on campus and work in teams with UT professors, NIMBioS researchers, and collaborators to conduct research. Among this year's research topics are disease modeling, evolution of sexual imprinting, genome evolution, and development of natural plant pesticides. Stipend and housing are provided along with some funding for travel. Participants will also have their registration covered to attend the 2012 Society of Mathematical Biology annual meeting, July 25-28, in Knoxville.
