³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Are you interested in applying to graduate school this year? Do you want to explore interdisciplinary research applying mathematics and computational science to biological systems? Experience doctoral research in ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ's Quantitative Life Sciences (QLS) Program by taking part in a series of mini lab rotations!

Ìý

The QLS-MiCM has organized aÌýPhD Discovery Day where graduating undergraduates and master's students can familiarize themselves with the Quantitative Life Sciences’ lab rotation program through hands-on mini lab rotation workshops.ÌýEach rotation will cover analyses from Neuroscience, Genomics & Ecology, three of the many research fields found in the QLS program.

Ìý

Finally, participants will be able to meet and discuss with a panel of senior QLS students and graduates about their experiences in the program and their current career paths.

Ìý

Schedule:

14h00-17h00: Mini-Rotation Workshops (Neuroscience, Genomics, and Ecology)

17h00-18h00: QLS Graduate Q&A Panel

Ìý

This event is open to graduating undergraduate and master’s students attending Canadian universities. Students at universities other than ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ can .

Ìý

Only 45 spots are available in-person. Priority will be given to students graduating in Fall 2024, Winter 2025, and Summer 2025.

Ìý

Pre-requisites:
All activities will be run through Google Colab and thus attendees will only require access to a web browser and a stable internet connection. Attendees are expected to have some experience in the life sciences and/or quantitative disciplines (Computer Science/Mathematics/Statistics). The Google Colab activities have been designed such that experience in python is not required but may be beneficial.
