[SocBiN] Fwd: Reminder: Applications to the National Graduate School in Medical Bioinformatics due 28 February 2019

[Arne Elofsson]

Dear Colleague -- Kindly forward this message to your relevant colleagues
and departmental and other email lists.


To all current and prospective 1st year PhD students in Bioinformatics,

You are invited to apply to MedBioInfo, the National Graduate School in
Medical Bioinformatics, established to provide advanced training in
bioinformatics to the next generation of world-class life-science
researchers.  Our 41 affiliated faculty members include most of the leading
bioinformaticians in Sweden, and we also draw on the faculty of NORBIS, our
Norwegian sister school. Alongside your peers, this will form a key part of
your future scientific network. Our courses are short (typically 1 week in
residence, with substantive pre- and/or post-course assignments), and
offered 2-3 times per year, totalling about 30 HP over the course of 3
years. The courses are more specialised and varied than can be provided by
your home university. You will be matched with a faculty mentor, providing
a perspective and advice complementary to that of your advisor. We also
have an annual meeting where you will attend faculty talks and soft-skills
workshops, present your research, network, and get feedback. You will be
granted a yearly travel  budget. Best of all, this should be fun.

You are eligible to apply if you began or will begin your PhD between
January 2018 and April 2019, though there is some flexibility in this.
Target groups include PhD students in Life Science doing primarily
computational research.

By applying, you agree to set aside 8-10 May to attend our Annual Meeting
(at Varbergs Kusthotell near Göteborg). Your first course is scheduled
<http://www.medbioinfo.se/?page_id=31> for 10-14 June 2019.

The deadline is *February 28*, 2019. Enrollment is limited to approximately
20 incoming students per year. You can apply on medbioinfo.se
<http://www.medbioinfo.se/?page_id=33>. Feel free to email me with any
questions. We look forward to reading your application.

With kind regards,

Sam
