Ph.D. Programme in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
In
March 2010, the School of Computer Engineering has entered a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Bioinformatics
Institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to support a newly established Ph.D. programme
in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics administered by NTU-SCE, with this
step crowning the long-standing partnership of both sides. This support
involves block-funding from BII as well as support with teaching and research
resources.
Under
this programme, there will be multiple up-to-4-year scholarships to train
graduates (with a Master of Science in natural sciences or engineering) towards
a Ph.D. in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. Besides a limited set of
coursework aimed at complementing the existing knowledge of the applicant in an
interdisciplinary manner, involvement in actual research as a member of a
research team at BII or SCE will be the main activity during the training.
Applicants
with excellent results during their university studies and a strong interest in
computational biology/bioinformatics research are encouraged to apply. There
are no eligibility limitations other than good performance, and applications
from Singapore, countries in Southeast Asia or anywhere in the world are
considered on a purely meritocratic basis.
