I have open graduate student positions at the MSc and PhD level in mathematical biology and evolutionary theory in my research group based at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Universit?? de Montr??al. My research focuses primarily on questions in evolutionary biology, ranging from general evolutionary theory (e.g., evolutionary conflict, cooperation) to evolutionary epidemiology (see https://davidvmcleod.github.io/for more details). For students more interested in within-host evolution or evolutionary immunology, there are also opportunities to be co-supervised by Morgan Craig, a computational immunologist in the department. David McLeod Professeur adjoint D??partement de Math??matiques et Statistique Universit?? de Montr??al Important dates: Grad students can begin study January 1, May 1, or September 1, 2025. Requirements The ideal candidates will have strong academic and/or publication records (depending on career stage) in mathematical/computational modelling. Experience in evolutionary biology is an asset but is not necessary. Speaking/understanding French is not a requirement for graduate studies at Universit?? de Montr??al. Most people in Montr??al speak both English and French. However, it is an asset as French speakers may also take on teaching assistantships. Funding MSc: Fully funded (minimum $22,000/year) for two years. Scholarship recipients receive top up bonuses. PhD: Fully funded (minimum $26,500/year) for four years. Scholarship recipients receive top up bonuses.
