I have been asked to put out
an amended notice for the
Genomics M.Sc. in Edinburgh.
Dave Waddington
MSC COURSE IN QUANTITATIVE GENETICS AND GENOME ANALYSIS
http://www.gradlife.ed.ac.uk/msc_quan/msc_quan.htm
TWO MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL STUDENTSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR
OUTSTANDING UK APPLICANTS, AND A NUMBER OF FEES-ONLY
SCHOLARSHIPS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OUTSTANDING EU APPLICANTS.
The M.Sc./Diploma in Quantitative Genetics and Genome Analysis at the
University of Edinburgh is a new course, first offered in the academic year
1999/2000, and run within the Division of Biological Sciences
In the Edinburgh area, there is unrivalled expertise over a broad range of
applications of quantitative genomics within the University and its
associated
institutions, all of which are internationally recognised and have excellent
research
ratings. The course is centred on the Institute of Cell, Animal and
Population
Biology (ICAPB), with substantial input of teaching and research facilities
provided
by the Roslin Institute, Scottish Agricultural College, the Medical Genetics
Section
of the Department of Medical Sciences, and the MRC Human Genetics Unit.
The genome revolution is generating vast amounts of genotypic and phenotypic
data, and there is a growing need, in industry and academia, for individuals
with the
combined strengths of a solid background in genetics and experience in
relevant
statistical methodologies.
This full-time course (12 months M.Sc./ 9 months Diploma) is designed to
provide
students with the depth of knowledge and the specialised skills required to
apply
quantitative genetics theory to practical problems in both the biomedical
and
agricultural industries; and to undertake research on current problems in
population
genetics, genome analysis, and analysis of complex traits.
We welcome applications from able graduates in Mathematics or Statistics
who
wish to apply theory to genetic issues.
