The future of life science will be created by the scientists that master advanced computational methods for dealing with big-data, high-throughput genomics methods and study the most important medical problems, such as how to cure cancer and improve health.
If you want to become a part of the future for medical research and share our vision that only be a combination of experimental and computational metods significant progress can be made the Swedish National Research School in Medical Bioinformatics is for you. The school is aimed at PhD students who recently started (or will start soon) their PhD studies at a Swedish university and have an interest in medical bioinformatics or related subjects.
The research school is backed by a large group of bioinformaticians from all the major universities in Sweden. These professors will teach a number of courses available for free for the students on the research school. The school will be jointly coordinated by four scientists working at SciLifeLab in Stockholm.
However, the most important contribution for you as a student in the research school is not the excellent courses, but the unique network you will gain. In addition to the a yearly contact with the other students in the school you will network with the leading bioinformaticians in Sweden in a mentor program.
For the first year we will primarily accept students who start(ed) their PhD studies between Jan 2016 and April 2017, but other students are also welcome to apply. Application deadline is Feb 28 2017. The program is limited to 20 students.
For more information and application see www.medbioinfo.se
Please help us spread the word to relevant students.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
I got an email about the call for PhD students to apply and have the oportunity to learn bioinformatics. I am really interested in the topic and have been doing many online courses. But i am a PosDoc and therefore I cant apply. Do you have plans to open the same type of oportunity for PosDocs?
Best regards
If space given the courses will be open for other participants as well, but we do unfortunately not have funding for any particular program for postdocs.
Thank you very much for the fast reply Arne, in this case, will you inform that you have extra space and we apply afterwards?
The details are up to the teachers of each course. But certainly they will be announced
