Subject: Studentships in mathematical chemistry and mathematical biology
From: Marc Roussel <roussel@uleth.ca>

Are you interested in applying mathematics to chemical or biological
problems, or perhaps in developing new mathematical ideas for these
fields?  If so, why don't you contact me so that we can discuss the
opportunities in my research group? We carry out fundamental research
on model reduction and stochastic kinetics, as well as a variety of
applied projects in theoretical biology. If you're interested in the
interface between theory and experiment and have an appropriate
background, it may also be possible to arrange research projects for
you which involve some experimental work with other research groups.

If you're interested, have a look at my web page
(http://people.uleth.ca/~roussel), or contact me at the coordinates
below.
