Applications are now being accepted for the summer of 2021 Research Experience for Undergraduates in Population Biology of Infectious Diseases, hosted by the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. We are excited about the program, which strives to integrate experimental biological science with computational methods and techniques to investigate a variety of areas in infectious disease research. Our goal is to recruit both students with a background in biology, with the intent of introducing them to computational techniques, and also students with a background in mathematics and/or computer science, in order to give them experience in data collection in a laboratory or field setting.
