Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship Applications
OVERVIEW
The Keck Computational Biology Training Program provides fellowships for U.S.citizen, Permanent Resident, and Foreign National predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees interested in computational biology.
All Keck Computational Biology Training Program research takes place in Houston by trainees who are enrolled at or hold an appointment at either Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, University of Houston, UT Health Science Center - Houston, UT Medical Branch - Galveston, or UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. There are no off-site appointments to this program and this program does not grant degrees. If you are not already enrolled or appointed at one of the previously listed schools, please do not send an application form without first contacting the Keck Center and / or potential mentors at one of the six GCC / Keck Center member institutions.
Applicants for the predoctoral training programs must be accepted or applying to an existing departmental or inter-departmental degree-granting program at one of the six supporting GCC / Keck Center institutions. Pre-doctoral students are expected to enroll either in a natural sciences program and take additional computer-oriented / informatics coursework, or in a computer, computational, engineering science, or informatics program and take additional courses in biological science. These additional course requirements will be discussed individually in meetings with the Keck Computational Biology Training Program Steering Committee to develop a customized curriculum for the trainee.
