Training Program at Texas A&M University for New and Established Ph.D's
The Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University anticipates openings for its two-year training program in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics with an emphasis on the Biology of Nutrition and Cancer (http://www.stat.tamu.edu/B3NC). Program participants will receive training via a structured format in biology, genetics, microarray technology, genomic signal processing, and the biological mechanisms of cancer that may be activated by nutrition-related factors. No teaching duties are required. Each participant will be mentored by a multidisciplinary team of experienced researchers from Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Nutrition and Biochemistry and will be provided with excellent computing support. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a quantitatively oriented discipline, such as statistics, electrical engineering and applied mathematics. Funding is restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Stipends are competitive with initial tenure-track positions in statistics. Interested applicants should send a vita and three letters of reference (for new or recent Ph.D.s) by January 15, 2009 to:
