Job Description:
http://www.bcb.iastate.edu/ Apply By February 1, 2016
The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program (BCB) at Iowa State University is an exciting Interdepartmental Graduate Major which offers outstanding opportunities for graduate studies toward a Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The BCB program involves more than 80 nationally and internationally known faculty - biologists, computer scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and physicists - who participate in a wide range of collaborative projects.
Iowa State University has been recognized as one of the top Bioinformatics and Computational Biology PhD programs in the nation with the award of two Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) grants from the National Science Foundation. Only one other program in the nation has received two IGERT awards.
With the $5 million grant, several new research centers were established including a Center for Bioinformatics and Biological Statistics and a Center for Plant Genomics. The new centers have provided funding for graduate assistantships, new faculty, and new facilities for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology research. A recent Iowa State University presidential initiative in Big Data has recruited several new faculty and provided for state-of-the art supercomputing resources.
Nearly 50 graduate students in the BCB Program have the opportunity to conduct research in all major research areas of computational molecular biology, including genomics, metagenomics, structural genomics, functional genomics, phylogenetics, and computational systems biology, with access to some of the most modern experimental platforms.
General information about the BCB program is available throughout our website including information on our BCB faculty and their research interests as well as links to homepages for individual faculty and research groups.
First-year students receive graduate research assistantships and participate in research rotations in three or more laboratories to gain experience in both "wet" and "dry" lab environments. More fellowships are available via various sources, including a recently awarded NSF training grant for plant and predictive phenomics.
