University of Rochester MBA Scholarships

The Simon School assists qualified full-time domestic and international students in financing their management education and has been generous in awarding merit-based scholarships to those who show promise of achieving excellence at the School and in their careers. In awarding merit-based aid, primary emphasis is given to academic excellence, professional development and demonstrated qualities of leadership. Scholarship amount, if any, is given at the same time as the admissions decision. About 50-60% of students receive partial tuition awards. Full scholarships are very rare and extremely competitive. Furthermore, the School strongly discourages students from working while studying full-time, as the academic rigor of our courses and the time needed to conduct a career search is significant. These awards are renewed in the second year, provided first-year academic performance has been satisfactory. To be considered for Simon School merit-based financial aid, the applicant needs only to complete the financial-aid portion of the application form.

USA: Post-doctoral Opportunity in Systems Biology, University of Wisconsin

USA: Post-doctoral Opportunity in Systems Biology, University of Wisconsin

What might you gain while pursuing post-doctoral research in the Yin lab?

  1. Hands-on training in the emerging and exciting area of systems biology, focusing on virus-host interactions,
  2. Experience in how to integrate research, teaching and learning (see www.delta.wisc.edu) — skills that are highly valued by academic employers and funding agencies,
  3. Guidance by a mentor who has a strong record of placing students and post-docs in stimulating academic (Caltech, Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Tufts, UConn-Storrs, UC-Berkeley), government, and industry positions,
  4. Opportunities for personal growth at a world-class university, located in safe, attractive and affordable city surrounded by beautiful lakes.


We are advancing new technologies to better understand the growth, spread and evolution of viruses. Active NIH-supported projects are in three areas: (1) flow-enhanced spread and characterization of infections in microfluidic devices, (2) phenotype distributions from measurements and models of infections initiated by single virus particles, (3) dynamics of virus populations in anti-viral environments. Systems of current interest are influenza virus and vesicular stomatitis virus. The most competitive applicants will be exceptionally creative, highly-motivated individuals with experience in:

Quantitative biology: methods to detect and/or quantify nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, virus-like particles, activation of innate immunity. Experience in microscopy, construction or characterization of live-cell reporters of gene expression, quantitative imaging and image analysis would be especially valuable

or

Engineering or physical sciences: modeling or simulation of reactive systems, fluid and particle dynamics, or microfluidics, with emphasis on the development of data-driven mechanistic models. Experience in parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis and model-discrimination would be especially valuable.

Madison, Wisconsin is routinely ranks at the top of national surveys of ‘best places to live,’ and post-docs here thrive on a rich diversity of outdoor and cultural opportunities. Forward your CV with cover letter, and have three letters of reference sent to John Yin by e-mail (yin[ at ]engr.wisc.edu), fax (608/262-5434) or regular mail: Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706-1607 USA.
