Georgia Tech is actively recruiting strong undergraduates from the
physical sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, engineering and
computing to join an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Quantitative
Biosciences (QBioS) at Georgia Tech. Applications are welcome by December
15, 2015 for entrance in August 2016:
http://qbios.gatech.edu
The QBioS Ph.D. at Georgia Tech was established in 2015 by an
interdisciplinary group of over 40 participating program faculty from
seven schools in the College of Sciences, including Applied Physiology,
Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences,
Mathematics, Physics and Psychology:

The mission of QBioS at Georgia Tech is to educate students and advance
research in quantitative biosciences, enabling the discovery of scientific
principles underlying the dynamics, structure, and function of living
systems. Research themes include evolution, ecology & earth systems. The
Ph.D. training program is designed to prepare students from a diversity of
backgrounds for fulfilling careers in academia, industry and government.
The training program features:
* Foundational courses in Quantitative Biosciences
* Rotations in modeling and/or experimental groups
* Selection of thesis advisor from all program faculty
* Rigorous and personalized quantitative training
* Five-year program of study from entrance to defense
