The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is actively recruiting students for its graduate programs (PhD, MS, MSPH) in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics.
PhD Program: offers advanced training opportunities for students interested in the theory and application of biostatistics and bioinformatics methods. Students with background in statistics, mathematics, biological sciences with quantitative skills, computational science are especially encouraged to apply. Admitted students will be considered for the competitive financial aids (~$40,000 per year) including tuition waivers and/or stipends, through the departmental funding and/or intramural/extramural research funding (through the Tulane Center for Bioinformatics and Genomics). Besides regular course works and dissertation writing, students in the Program will attend interdisciplinary seminars and participate in independent and collaborative research in the frontier of biological and biomedical studies.
MS and MSPH Programs: are to advance the field of biostatistics/bioinformatics/public health by training students in applied data analysis in the areas of public health and medicine, through course work, seminars, workshops and practicum training. The programs will establish foundations for the graduate to apply statistical methodologies in a range of public health application areas or to assist in the application of statistics/bioinformatics theory to statistics/bioinformatics problems in health sciences and molecular biology. Students with background in biology, medicine, statistics, mathematics, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Students in the programs will have chances to conduct research through research funding and/or be a teaching assistant through departmental funding. Students will also have the opportunities to attend interdisciplinary seminars and journal clubs in the frontier of biostatistics, bioinformatics, and biological and biomedical studies.
Training in Health Informatics: is to train students in the fast growing and rapidly-evolving field of health informatics for enhancing patient care quality through improved and efficient communication and documentation. The training integrates biological and biomedical sciences, computer and information science and provides students with analytical skills in evidence-based policy making.
Tulane University is located in the city of New Orleans, a city with rich culture in music and fine cuisines and a deep French heritage. The University is ranked as a top tier university in various national rankings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulane_University#Rankings). The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics is one of six departments in the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, which is ranked among the top 15 best US public health schools by US News and the only School of Tropical Medicine in US. The Department includes seventeen faculty members with diverse research interests falling into a wide range of statistical, computational and biological related fields, such as biostatistics, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, functional genomics, proteomics, and computational biology. With many faculty also affiliated with the Tulane Center for Bioinformatics and Genomics, the Department is among the top in the similar US programs in terms of research activity and funding.
The Tulane Center for Bioinformatics and Genomics is a multidisciplinary research entity with the goal of accelerating the pace of scientific discovery, reducing mortality and improving the quality of life. The Center is supported by multiple NIH, NSF and local funding, and conducts cutting-edge research in methodology development and application for human complex disease gene mapping, next-generation sequencing data analyses, genome-, transcriptome-, proteome-wide data analyses, genetic and clinical epidemiology studies, bio-imaging analyses, and integrative analyses of multiple-level biological and biomedical data.
