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 McGill'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 McGill 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.
