This degree programme (12 months M.Sc./ 9 months Diploma)
provides a foundation in population and quantitative genetics
together with experience in relevant statistical methodologies. It includes
options in evolutionary genetics , human genetics and animal breeding.
There is a rapidly expanding demand for individuals with these combined
strengths to apply quantitative genetics theory to practical problems in
both biological sciences (eg conservation genetics), biomedical science
(human gene mapping) and agricultural industries; and to undertake research
on current problems in population genetics, genome analysis, and analysis of
complex traits. This course provides an excellent platform for doctoral
studies. Course details at http://www.qgen.co.uk
The course is based at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology at
Edinburgh University
http://www.biology.ed.ac.uk/research/institutes/evolution/ 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. These are all internationally recognised centres for
research in quantitative genomics and research training is an integral
part of the course.
Applications invited from graduates in
1. Mathematics, Statistics or Physical Sciences who wish to apply
theory to genetic problems, or
2. Biosciences, Genetics, Agricultural Sciences, Medicine or
Veterinary Medicine who have an interest in, and aptitude for
quantitative biology.
