>COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS: The Albuquerque High
>Performance Computing Center will support two research assistantships for
>highly qualified graduate students who wish to obtain a Ph.D. in Biology
>with an emphasis in high performance computing. Applicants must meet the
>requirements of admission to the Graduate School at the University of New
>Mexico and be interested in creating new computational algorithms or
>utilizing advanced computational techniques as part of their doctoral
>research activities. The research can involve any area of Computational
>Biology.

>The Department of Biology at UNM has a very active program in computational
>biology. Three professors specializing in the area have recently been
>hired: Paul Lewis (systematics and phylogenetics), Bai-Lian (Larry) Li
>(mathematical and computational ecology) and Andreas Wagner (molecular
>computational biology). Many other Biology professors have ongoing research
>in computational biology, including James Brown (community ecology), James
>Gosz (landscape dynamics), Louise Lewis (systematics), Sam Loker
>(immunobiology), Rob Miller (immunobiology), Bruce Milne (landscape
>ecology), Don Natvig (evolutionary molecular biology), Mary Anne Nelson
>(fungal genomics) and Margaret Werner-Washburne (cell cycle regulation in
>yeast). Also, the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Office
>(which has the responsibility of facilitating information management,
>remote sensing research and high performance computing for 22 research
>sites in North America, and for the development of additional computational
>capabilities across the LTER Network) and the Sevilleta LTER Program, both
>associated with the Department of Biology, have extensive datasets and
>research and collaboration opportunities. John Vande Castle (remote sensing
>and landscape analysis), the Associate Director of the LTER Network Office,
>is a UNM Research Associate Professor.
>
>The Department of Biology works closely with the Albuquerque High
>Performance Computing Center. AHPCC is affiliated with the Maui High
>Performance Computing Center (one of the most powerful supercomputing
>centers in the world); it serves as the focus for education and research
>involving high performance computing, and provides workshops, use of remote
>computers, visualization tools, etc. There is extensive support available
>locally outside UNM, including the Santa Fe Institute, National Center for
>Genome Resources, and Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. The
>possibilities for fruitful collaboration are astounding!
