How to Apply

Please apply by emailing Dr. Chunlei Wu. If available, it's always a good idea to include the links to your past software projects and relevant source code repositories.

Dr. Wu will be attending ISMB 2017 and will have time to meet with a limited number of applicants in person (though meeting then is by no means a requirement to be considered).
