Description:

New Opportunities at NIMBioS:NIMBioS Interactive a Virtual Collaborative Space for the NIMBioS Community. Readmore Established in 2008 with an award from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis brings together researchers from around the world to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to find creative solutions to today's complex biological problems. The NIMBioS process and its results have united the forces of diverse academic communities, transforming the landscape of scientific research and education. Read more This truly was one of the best interdisciplinary workshops on sustainability that I have been to.Eli Fenichel, Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University, on the DySoC/NIMBioS Investigative Workshop Extending the Theory of SustainabilityClimate models lack dynamic representation of human behavior and social systems despite strong feedbacks between social processes and climate.A recent article published in Climate Change explores the importance of linking social factors with climate processes and identifies priorities for developing coupled social-climate models.FEATURED VIDEOCultural Evolution Learn Online. To truly understand how culture evolves, scientists often turn to mathematical models to shed light on how culture and life history have interacted in shaping who we are and what we might become. Presenting a new online learning series with basic and applied lessons in the dynamics of cultural evolution.Register now for the NIMBioS Interactive Event, NIMBioS Discussions with Students on Quantitative Education in the Life Sciencesto be held remotely in January 2021 (dates TBA). NIMBioS invites recent and current students to assist in providing input about the current means by which students are obtaining quantitative training and the benefits of alternative modes of learning.Deadline to apply: Jan4th.Apply now for a post-doctoral research associate position in mathematical modeling of biological systems in the Fefferman Lab at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The research will focus initially on analysis and simulations of difference and differential equation models of physiological processes.This is a full-time, one year position, with the potential for renewal. Ideal start date: February 1st, 2021.Apply now for a post-doctoral research associate position in mathematical and computational modeling of social systems in the Fefferman Lab at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.The work will focus initially on agent-based simulations of social and behavioral processes in networks and simplicial sets.This is a full-time, one year position, with the potential for renewal. Ideal start date: February 1st, 2021. Requests for Visits to NIMBioS. NIMBioS supports short-term visits of up to one week for groups of one to six people. Self-supported visitors are also hosted. Applications for Short-term Visits are considered monthly, with deadlines on the 1st of each month. Due to the evolving coronavirus situation, in-person NIMBioS activities are, with rare exceptions, on hold through December 31. However, we are hosting virtual visits as part of NIMBioS Interactive. Applications for Short-term Visits to take advantage of the NIMBioS Interactive platform are encouraged. Proposed visit dates must be at least two weeks after the submission date.Quantitative Biosciences at the University of Tennessee.Learn about opportunities for graduate study in the quantitative biosciences at UT. One of the world's largest collections of faculty in quantitative bioscience are located in a variety of departments and research labs across campus. Numerous graduate courses are regularly offered, and support through research and training assistantships is offered.Announcing NIMBioS Interactive a Virtual Collaborative Space for the NIMBioS Community.We at NIMBioS are offering some alternative tools to assist our community in meeting the challenges research and educational enterprises currently facedue to the lack of in-person connections and the limitations of the typical at-distance tools available for meetings.NIMBioS will be providing support for the use of the same platform used at the SMB meeting (sococo).We will be announcing an array of opportunities over the next several weeks.Please use this as an opportunity to apply for existing events or for the use of NIMBioS Interactive for a Short-term "Visit." Read more Due to the evolving coronavirus situation, NIMBioS in-person seminars have been replaced by a series of webinars.Most seminars were streamed live and recorded for later viewing. Watch previously recorded seminars online.The results produced from NIMBioS research activities are important in measuring our success. Report your publications and other products resulting from NIMBioS activities. Acknowledging NIMBioSDue to the evolving coronavirus situation, we are evaluating all activities supported by NIMBioS to be consistent with health guidelines and the plans established by the University of Tennessee. NIMBioS is committed to promoting the safety and well-being of all our participants and event attendees. We expect most if not all NIMBioS activities will involve collaborating virtually rather than physically at NIMBioS and we will work with those involved in activities we support to assist in making these virtual interactions as effective as possible via NIMBioS Interactive. We encourage individuals to review the recommendations and best practices from credible sources including the U.S. Department of State, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Tennessee Department of Health, and the University of Tennessee.Any questions about how we might support an activity already accepted, or a potential new activity, should be addressed to NIMBioS Director Louis Gross (gross@nimbios.org) and Deputy Director Chris Welsh (cwelsh@NIMBioS.org).NIMBioS is supported by theNational Science Foundationthrough NSF Award #DBI-1300426, with additional support fromThe University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
