[bioundgrd] Fwd: UROP Position Available - Mathematical Ecology

[MacKenzie Outlund]

> Mathematical Ecology UROP – Spring 2007
>
>
> A UROP is available in the laboratory of Prof. George Verghese  
> exploring topics in mathematical ecology, examining the propagation  
> of infections through networks.  The position will help a graduate  
> student in the initial application of theoretical conclusions to  
> actual data.  The UROP student will learn how locate, manipulate  
> and apply GIS data to the problem, specifically figuring out how to  
> extrapolate networks from the geographical data.  The project is  
> open-ended and can go in a variety of different directions  
> according to the preferences and talents of the student.  MIT has  
> well-structured resources for learning to use GIS software, which  
> will be made available to the student if needed.

> This UROP is part of the Martin Family UROP program.  This program  
> supports UROPs working closely with graduate fellows on  
> environmental and sustainability research.  Participating students  
> develop a mentoring relationship with a graduate student and  
> network with graduate and undergraduate students working across the  
> disciplines.  For more information, go to http://lfee.mit.edu/
