Biostatistics for Research in Genomics and Cancer

描述(由申请者提供)：这个为期5年的项目旨在培养博士前(博士)。以及主修癌症基因组学的统计基因组学博士后。目标是培训生物统计学家在癌症的生物学、病因学和遗传学方面，并培训他们进行与癌症基因组学相关的最先进的生物统计方法论研究以及基因组学的相关领域。其目标是还培养出能够在与基因组学和癌症相关的研究问题上与其他科学研究人员和肿瘤学家合作的生物统计学家。典型的博士前实习生将是大学毕业生或硕士毕业生，拥有与该培训领域相适应的优秀学术记录。典型的博士后实习生将接受统计学、生物统计学或相关领域的高度相关的博士培训。请拨经费支持5名博士前实习生和2名博士后实习生。北卡罗来纳大学生物统计系是世界上最大的系之一，拥有高素质的人员和现有的设施，可以在这一研究领域提供最全面的博士前和博士后培训。卡罗莱纳基因组科学中心(CCGs)的几名成员将深入参与该培训计划的所有阶段，并将在该培训计划中发挥不可或缺的作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This 5-year program is designed to train predoctoral (Ph.D.) and postdoctoral students in statistical genomics with the major emphasis in cancer genomics. The goal is to train biostatisticians in the biology, etiology, and genetics of cancer, as well as to train them to conduct state-of-the-art biostatistical methodologic research relevant to the genomics of cancer as well as in related areas of genomics. The goal is to also produce biostatisticians who can collaborate with other scientific researchers and oncologists on research issues related to genomics and cancer. The typical predoctoral trainee will be a college graduate or masters level graduate with an excellent academic record appropriate for this training area. The typical postdoctoral trainee will have highly relevant doctoral training in statistics, biostatistics, or related areas. Funding is requested for the support of 5 predoctoral trainees and 2 post-doctoral trainees. The Department of Biostatistics at UNC is one of the largest in the world, and has highly qualified personnel and the available facilities to provide the most comprehensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in this research area. Several members of the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences (CCGS) will be deeply involved in all phases of this training program and will play an integral role in this training program.
