Interdisciplinary graduate program on Janelia Farm Research Campus, HHMI

mayagaoUID: 56991

HHMI recently created its own research community and campus, Janelia Farm, http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/

It aims to recruit 24 (may be more, up to 30) group leaders and takes
every effort to open the campus in the summer of 2006. 7 group leaders
have been recruited (http://www.hhmi.org/news/062905.html) and the 2nd
round of recruiting was initiated a week ago.  

Among the first 7 leaders, the famous scientists who are doing research in Computational
Biology are:  

Sean R. Eddy, Ph.D.
HHMI investigator at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis

and  

Eugene W. Myers, Ph.D.
University of California, Berkeley

Thus we can expect more leaders in Computational Bioloy/Bioinformatics/Genomics
will join Janelia Farm in 2006.  

Two definded research areas for those group leaders at Janelia Farm are:

A.the identification of general principles that govern how information is processed by neuronal circuits, using genetic model systems in conjunction with imaging, electrophysiological, and computational methods;  

and  

B. the development of imaging technologies and computational methods for image analysis.

If you are interested in those, the opportunity for a graduate student involved is to apply for Interdisciplinary graduate program on Janelia Farm Research Campus for 2006/2007.  

The announcement about this is:

"Janelia Farm Research Campus has established partnerships with the University of Cambridge and the University of Chicago to launch an interdisciplinary graduate program. The program will aim to attract a small number of outstanding graduate students who will benefit from doing their Ph.D. research in the collaborative, interdisciplinary environment at Janelia Farm."
