PROGRAMS

Distinguished Visiting Faculty

This program will bring recognized leaders in various fields to SBCNY to spend 1-2 weeks for a seminar, mini-courses and interactions with Center investigators and trainees

Visiting Fellowships

Visiting Faculty and postdoctoral fellows can spend up to three months. SBCNY will provide partial support for the visits to defray housing and living expenses. The goal of the visits will depend on the individual and can take one of two formats: a) develop the researcher's projects with the complementary resources (either experimental or theoretical) or b) allow the researcher to participate in one of the ongoing projects within the SBCNY.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

These fellowships will support the training of postdoctoral fellows who conduct collaborative research between the laboratories of SBCNY investigators and non-participating faculty members. The projects must include integration of experimental and theoretical components and have a "Systems Biology" approach. Such fellowships will last typically one year, but in exceptional circumstances a second year may be considered.

Workshops for Undergraduate Biology Educators

These workshops will develop educational materials to facilitate undergraduate educators to incorporate Systems Biology approaches in their courses. The workshops will focus on biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology teachers who run junior or senior level classes. The workshops will deal with modeling approaches that can be incorporated into their curriculum. Specific examples with problem sets and other self-learning educational tools will be developed.

SBCNY will offer stipends to support the participation of educators in these workshops.

Please send an e-mail to Dr. Terry Krulwich at terry.krulwich@mssm.edu for additional details about the workshops for Undergraduate Educators.

Graduate Students

Short-term Junior Visiting Fellowships: Visiting graduate students can be part of one of the research projects within the SBCNY or learn the use of relevant technologies to use in their project. Typically visits will last 2-4 months. Partial support from SBCNY will be available to defray housing and living expenses.

SBCNY Junior Visiting Fellowship Application
Applications are welcome year-round for Short-term Junior Visiting Fellowships.

SBCNY Graduate Student Fellowships: One year fellowships for graduate students whose thesis research can be enhanced either by computational approaches or by multivariable experiments. Restricted to students who are co-mentored by SBCNY investigators.

Undergraduate Students

SBCNY offers a summer research program for undergraduates for research experience in Systems Biology projects. Typically, the experience will last ten weeks and time will be divided between modeling and experimental laboratories. In addition to laboratory experiences students will have four didactic sessions consisting of lectures and readings of papers so that they develop an appreciation of the approaches used in the laboratory by the SBCNY members and other researchers in the field.
