Predoctoral Research Training in Statistical Genetics

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学统计遗传学教授提议更新生物统计学博士前培训项目，强调遗传学的应用。教职员工来自华盛顿大学非常强大的生物统计学、基因组科学或统计学部门。受训者将在三个系之一攻读博士学位。该培训计划将包括目前由生物统计学系和统计学系提供的统计遗传学博士课程，但还将增加在实验实验室进行轮岗和在当地公司实习的机会。除了由国际统计遗传学专家讲授的正式课程外，培训项目还包括期刊俱乐部、研讨会和静修活动。学员还将能够参加在华盛顿大学举行的统计遗传学年度暑期学院的模块。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The statistical genetics faculty at the University of Washington propose renewal of the predoctoral training program in biostatistics that emphasizes applications to genetics. The faculty members belong to the very strong departments of Biostatistics, Genome Sciences or Statistics at the University of Washington. The trainees will pursue Ph.D. degrees in one of the three departments. The training program will include the current Ph.D. tracks in statistical genetics offered by the Departments of Biostatistics and Statistics but it will have the additional feature of rotations in experimental laboratories and opportunities for internships in local companies. In addition to formal courses taught by international experts in statistical genetics, the training program features journal club, seminars and retreats. Trainees will also be able to attend modules in the annual Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics held at the University of Washington.
