Application Process

In the application, all applicants will be asked to (1) provide contact information and basic demographic information.

Full In-Person Participants (i.e., in-person participants will stay on campus and attend all live lectures, tutorials and lab tours and will work in small groups on mentored problem and project sessions.  During the application, interested students will be asked to: (2) describe previous training in mathematics, computation and biology, (3) write a short (<250 word) paragraph to explain your interest in the program, and (4) write a short (<250 word) paragraph describing what efforts you take to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in your community

Online Participants will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis with a cap at 250 participants.

Full In Person Participant applications will be reviewed by the organizers. Organizers have been instructed to look for students who are diverse in background and training, but who demonstrate a keen interest in quantitative methods to study biological systems. The number of Full Participants will be limited to 30 students, and a wait list will be created for those not selected.

All participants will be provided (FREE) access to all pre-recorded sessions, seminars, tutorial sessions, and career panel discussions.

The intended audience is senior undergraduates or first year graduate students in engineering, physics, computer science, statistics or mathematics with some interest in biology (biologists with appropriate mathematics and computing experience are also encouraged).  All participants should have had some computing class (e.g., matlab, R, python, or java) and mathematics up to and including ordinary differential equations and basic linear algebra. Previous experience with statistics is strongly encouraged, but not mandatory.

To ensure more attention during problem sessions and projects, participation will be limited to no more than 30 registered students in the interactive sessions.

The q-bio summer school does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, gender, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
