one scholarship is available under the superrvision of Dr Georg Weiller within the Genome Interactions Group at the ANU School of Biology.
We are looking for candidates with Honours in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science or Molecular Biology, and knowledge of Bayesian Statistics, Bioinformatics, and/or Computational Biology would be desirable. For more information, please email Dr Georg Weiller or phone (02) 61255916.
Requirements: Applicants should be citizens of New Zealand or Australia (or Australian permanent residents); international students may apply however they must be able to demonstrate a source of support for tuition fees.
Applicants are encouraged to make contact with Dr Georg Weiller before lodging an application.
Normal ANU application procedures should be followed. An on-line application should be completed and submitted. List PhD Scholarship in Bioinformatics in ‘Other Scholarships’ field on page 1 of the online application form.
