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. Marc R.
