UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM
Graduate Student Fellowships
The University of Pennsylvania announces an NSF-funded
training program in Computational Biology, with research
focusing on applications of computer science, mathematics,
and statistics to molecular genetics. Particular areas of
interest include physical and genetic mapping, biological
databases, multiple sequence alignment, phylogeny construction,
sequence search and analysis, statistical methods, discrete
algorithms and combinatorial optimization in biology. Admission
to the training program requires acceptance into the Ph.D. program
in one of the core disciplines (e.g. Computer and Information
Science, Statistics, or one of the biological sciences) and is
highly competitive. We seek candidates with strong undergraduate
backgrounds in any of the core disciplines who are interested in
computational biology. Interested persons should contact the PI
(Dr. Warren Ewens, wewens at mail.sas.upenn.edu) from whom information
concerning the program can be obtained.
