Junior Scientist Workshops are intense, interactive, 3-5 day meetings designed specifically for graduate students, postdocs and others in similar training positions. Attendees will present their work, receive and provide critical feedback, engage in lively discussions, explore potential career opportunities, and network with peers.
Bootcamp Courses are an opportunity to broadly share Janelia’s unique technical and intellectual expertise in an environment of intense scholarship, apprenticeship, and comradery. Students come for 1-2 weeks to learn, share, connect, collaborate, through a combination of lectures and hands-on, interactive work.
Application deadlines vary. See descriptions for more details. If the "apply for participation" button is missing, applications have closed for that meeting.
Organized by Allyson Sgro and Ahmed El Hady, this workshop is intended as a "by the students, for the students" meeting. Participants will include students and postdocs working on a variety of problems in theoretical biophysics, broadly defined. Topics include but are not limited to:
· Physical principles underlying biological function in molecular, cellular, multicellular systems
· Theory of organismal development
· Theory of animal behavior, ecological systems, and evolutionary dynamics
· Data driven identification of principles in biophysical systems
· Physics of active matter
· Non–equilibrium thermodynamics of living systems
Organized by Ann Hermundstad, Sandro Romani, Ling-Qi Zhang, Alice Wang, and Sahil Loomba, this workshop is intended as a "by the students, for the students" meeting. Participants will include graduate students and postdocs doing theoretical neuroscience research.
