Predoctoral Research Training in Statistical Genetics

描述(由申请者提供)：华盛顿大学统计遗传学学院提出了一个新的生物统计学博士前培训计划，强调遗传学的应用。这些教员属于华盛顿大学非常强大的生物统计学、基因组科学或统计学系，其中一些人还在弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心任职。学员将在这三个系中的一个系攻读博士学位。该培训计划将包括生物统计学和统计系目前提供的统计遗传学博士课程，但还将增加实验实验室轮换和在当地公司实习的机会。除了由国际统计遗传学专家教授的正式课程外，培训计划还包括期刊俱乐部、研讨会和务虚会。受训人员还将能够参加在华盛顿大学举行的一年一度的统计遗传学夏季研究所的模块。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The statistical genetics faculty at the University of Washington propose a new 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 and some of them also have appointments at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The trainees will pursue PhD degrees in one of the three departments. The training program will include the current PhD 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 clubs, 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.
