Opportunities at CARB.  When contacting us for information on open positions, please include your resume and indicate the position you are seeking:

  • Undergraduate students are eligible for summer support through CARB's summer intern program. This program provides a modest wage for summer research and is intended to support local students who desire research experience.
  • Graduate studentships. We have funding for a graduate position in bioinformatics and evolutionary analysis. Prospective graduate students must be accepted into BEES, the Behavior, Ecology, Evolution & Systematics program at the University of Maryland, College Park. The admissions deadline is January 1. Interested students should check out the BEES web site, and then contact Arlin.
  • Research Associates (post-doctoral). Prospective post-docs are encouraged to apply for any of a variety of external post-doc fellowships (to keep track of new fellowships, check GrantsNet regularly). We are especially eager to attract individuals who can build on our ground-breaking work on the role of mutation in evolution. One possible source of support is a prestigious NRC Research Associateship.
  • Anyone with an ongoing academic position (as a graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, research scientist, or faculty member) may come to CARB as a visiting scientist.  Contact me for details.

Fellowships.  We have a separate listing of fellowships for post-docs and graduate students in areas of mathematical and computational biology.
