Florida Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science (SIBDS) 2024

Have you ever wondered how data are used to make your life better?  Any thought as to why COVID-19 affects certain populations more than others? What are clinical trials, why are they important, and how do we interpret evidence?

If you are an undergraduate or early graduate student with a curious mind, sense of justice, and some statistics, math, technology, biology and/or health science coursework, you are eligible for Florida’s Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science Program (SIBDS). SIBDS is a Training Program funded by NIH. It will take place at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Boca Raton campus from May 20th  through June 28th, 2024, with faculty from FAU, University of Miami, and Florida International University. Students enrolled will be housed at FAU unless they live close by, and will receive a stipend (not a salary) to cover most expenses. 

Participation in SIBDS will provide great hands-on experience in conceptualizing research questions, determining and executing appropriate analyses, and interpreting results from three Projects using real data. In addition to networking with renown faculty, you will also learn and apply skills regarding scientific communication and cultivate opportunities for further internships. Please join us and you’ll see why in 2022 the U.S. News & World Report ranks ‘statistician’ as the 3rd top Business job, offering competitive salaries, limitless opportunities, and a healthy work-life balance. Careers in biostatistics and data science provide you with the tools to help change the world!

FAU demonstrates and supports a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion, and encourages a teaching approach using equitable and inclusive pedagogy.

We have rolling admission and the last date of APPLICATION completion is March 15th, 2024. Please use the link below to APPLY :

The EDGE Summer Program

The EDGE Summer Program is a four-week, residential session designed to prepare a cohort of women and nonbinary mathematicians to thrive in their Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences. EDGE coursework is designed to prepare participants for graduate research and qualification exams, while also providing practical experience in a rigorous academic setting. Additionally, participants build a personal and professional network that will support them throughout their graduate studies and beyond!

Applicants to the program should be women or gender non-conforming individuals who 1) are applying to Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences to begin in Fall 2024, or 2) just began their first year in a PhD program in the mathematical sciences in Fall 2023. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented minority groups.

Help us uplift the future generation of mathematicians by sharing this information with eligible students or other undergraduate connections!

Learn more about EDGE here. Applications are due February 15, 2024. Send any questions to edgestaff@edgeforwomen.org.

Fourth Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA 2025) ,  Miami, Florida, from July 21 to 25, 2025.

This prestigious event is being hosted by the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami and will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown Miami.

University of Miami will mark its centenary on April 8, 2025, and MCA 2025 will be one of the premier events celebrating its centennial year.

MCA 2025 promises to be an exciting and intellectually stimulating event, featuring distinguished plenary and invited speakers, as well as 50-60 Special Sessions covering a wide range of mathematical areas and applications. To ensure the success of the congress, we are reaching out to invite you to consider organizing a Special Session at MCA 2025.

If you are interested in proposing a Special Session, please submit your proposal by March 31, 2024. We strongly encourage early submissions, as our selection process is ongoing. Special Sessions can consist of either 8 or 16 talks, with sessions running each afternoon from Monday through Thursday. Organizers have the option to request a one-day session (8 talks) or a two-day session (16 talks). There is space for 50-75 Special Sessions, depending on the session length.

To submit a proposal and for more details, please visit the official MCA 2025 website: 

https://www.mca2025.org.

We aim to have diverse representation in terms of geography and mathematics, and we encourage mathematicians from across the Americas to participate. Co-organizers should represent at least two countries in the region, and suggested speakers should be diverse in various respects, including gender and nationality.

As you may know, the Mathematical Congress of the Americas is a collaborative effort organized under the umbrella of the Mathematical Council of the Americas. This network brings together professional mathematical societies and research institutes throughout the Americas, dedicated to promoting the development of Mathematics in the hemisphere.

The MCA conferences have a rich history, with the first one hosted in Guanajuato, Mexico, in 2013, followed by Montreal in 2017, and Buenos Aires in 2021 (held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic). MCA 2025 will mark the first time the event is hosted in the United States.

We look forward to your participation and contribution to MCA 2025, and we hope to see you in Miami for this exciting mathematical congress.

Want to Get Involved in research and Creative Opportunities?

Here's How!  
Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry!

Few activities are as intellectually rewarding as research. In addition to the acquisition of invaluable research skills, students will:

  • Improve communication skills
  • Gain skills in gathering and analyzing data
  • Develop creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity
  • Learn to work independently or in a group
  • Learn how knowledge is created and how that knowledge can be overturned with new evidence or perspectives
  • Get opportunities to present and publish their ideas

Undergraduate research can take place in  every  discipline. It is especially common in the life sciences and physical sciences, where an estimated 40 percent of students nationwide engage in research under faculty mentorship; it is also found in the humanities, social sciences, and creative and performing arts.

To learn more about the transferable skills that can be developed through research, please  click here!
