给生物，化学等火坑专业想转统计的同学推荐一个新开的PhD项目

北辰远UID: 2320774

今年新开的，Fall 2015招生还没结束，

网址在这里：
http://bigdata.unl.edu/phd-program

这个项目是Dr. Jennifer Clarke 2013年秋天被挖到UNL后去领导开的一个新项目，她和她老公一起被从U of Miami挖到UNL去的，她老公现在是UNL统计系的系主任，去U of Miami之前是UBC的统计系正教授，两位教授都非常非常靠谱。

虽然是统计的应用偏生物，农学的，但好歹能学到不少统计的知识，比火坑强太多。还是那句话，有点儿犹豫的最好别申了，说明你还觉得有选择，把机会留给已经明白了形势，非转不可的同学们吧。

如果有同学看到我这个帖子申请了，被录取了，以后请记得联系我一下吧，谢谢！


下面是Dr. Clarke发的介绍：

The new program in Complex Biosystems at the University of Nebraska Lincoln is directed toward students interested in applying quantitative statistical and computational approaches to multiple areas of biology including human health, medical biochemistry, microbial metagenomics, ecology, evolution, and plant systems.

The program features:

World class research faculty who engage in interdisciplinary research training
Competitive assistantships
Diverse rotation experiences to inform choice of research mentor
Student-focused flexible curriculum with strong foundation in computational and life sciences
Emphasis on career preparation through scientific communication skills, entrepreneurship, and networking
You can find detailed information about the Complex Biosystems PhD Program at http://bigdata.unl.edu/phd-program. More about UNL programs is also available from UNL's Office of Graduate Studies at http://www.unl.edu/gradstudies/home.  Application fees will be waived for all domestic applicants.

The Admissions and Recruitment Committee will begin reviewing applications after January 15, 2015, for the Fall 2015 class .

那是你浏览器或者网络的问题了，我刚才又打开了一次。不行就装个红杏试试吧。

恩，你可以这么想。反正总有人会去试试的。

回复一下楼主，前几天就想回了，一直没时间。我发信问过Jennifer了，这个项目今年刚开，目前还无法招收国际生，她估计到2016 fall才可以招。不过还是感谢楼主分享。

it is really 舍近求远. as for a subject-changer without $$, why not try to borrow some $$, and go for a CS master at a cheap school? you gotta calculate the time cost, though.

问题是总有很多人借不到钱。

很多想转转不了的，就是家境贫寒，也没地方借钱啊，莫非是找小贷公司？

there is a common misunderstanding that, changing to CS needs to do a master again. It is wrong. Finding a short contract from a small company, then, gradually you are in this industry completely.
