*Janelia Farm Junior Scientist Workshop on Theoretical Biophysics*

October 26 - 31, 2025

*Application Deadline*: *June 10, 2025 *(11:59pm ET.)

*Website:*https://www.janelia.org/you-janelia/conferences/junior-scientist-workshop-on-theoretical-biophysics-0

Organized by Ahmed El Hady ( University of Konstanz / MPI Animal 
Behavior )  , Magdalena Schneider ( Janelia Farm) , and Allyson Sgro ( 
Janelia Farm ) , this workshop is intended as a "by the students, for 
the students" meeting. Other than the organizers and invited speakers, 
participants will include only students and postdocs working on a 
variety of problems in theoretical biophysics, broadly defined.  Topics 
include but not limited to :

·Physical principles underlying biological function in molecular, 
cellular, multicellular systems

·Theory of organismal development

·Theory of animal behavior, ecological systems, and evolutionary dynamics

·Data driven identification of principles in biophysical systems

·Physics of active matter

·Non–equilibrium thermodynamics of living systems

Attendees will have the opportunity to present as well as learn from one 
another. They will give 20-minute talks on their own research questions, 
as well as in-depth 45-minute whiteboard tutorials on techniques central 
to their research. To promote spontaneous interactions and community 
discussions, tutorials will be chalk talk style.

We are interested in those who will be able to participate in and 
actively contribute to all activities, so space is limited and 
participants are expected to stay for the full duration. We see this 
workshop as a unique learning opportunity for everyone involved and 
intend for it to be a valuable and enjoyable experience.

Janelia will cover the cost of accommodation, meals and reasonable 
travel expenses for accepted participants. We especially encourage 
applications from women and those who identify with groups that are 
traditionally underrepresented in science
