Opportunities

Graduate and Undergraduate Students

Our lab is recruiting students at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Whether currently a UCR student or a prospective student, if you are interested in working with me, or more broadly, interested in computational biology and multiscale modeling, please do not hesitate to contact me via email (qixuanw@ucr.edu). 

Postdoctoral Scholars

Our lab currently does not have opening for a postdoctoral scholar. However, if you are interested in working with me or the applied math group at UCR, please feel free to contact me and apply for the Visiting Assitant Professor positions at the Department of Mathematics at UCR.
