MSC COURSE IN QUANTITATIVE GENETICS AND GENOME ANALYSIS
http://www.gradlife.ed.ac.uk/msc_quan/msc_quan.htm
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 either
1. Biosciences, Genetics, Agricultural Sciences, Medicine or Veterinary
Medicine who have an interest in, and aptitude for quantitative biology, or
2. Mathematics or Statistics who wish to apply theory to genetic issues.
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.
