OPORTUNIDADE
IOC lança pós-graduação em Biologia
Computacional e Sistemas
O Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) está lançando um programa de pós-graduação em Biologia
Computacional e Sistemas no Rio de Janeiro. Os estudantes aprenderão técnicas e abordagens das
ciências exatas e engenharias visando desenvolver soluções para problemas biológicos, conhecimento
amplamente aplicado, por exemplo, nos estudos de genômica, proteômica e estudos de expressão em
grande escala. As inscrições podem ser feitas entre 18 a 25 de fevereiro.

ASHG fellowship opportunities
ASHG has two exciting fellowship opportunities for which
we are currently accepting applications. These are unique programs which will help individuals
establish in-depth understanding of the fields of genetics and public health, and genetics and
policy respectively.
The Fellowship in Genetics and Public Health Research and Practice
Program is sponsored by the American Society of Human Genetics and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). The objectives of this co-sponsored Fellowship are to enhance the CDC's current
activities and develop new approaches in integrating genetics and genomics into public health policy
and programs at the national, state, and local levels. Successful applicants must have either an
MD or PhD degree or a master's degree in genetics, genetic counseling or a related field, with
experience or interest in public health genetics. Each applicant must qualify as early career or
mid-career career professionals for the two year Fellowship. The start date is July 1, 2008 and
completed applications must be received by March 15, 2008. For further information and application
materials,

The Genetics and Public Policy Fellowship is a program
designed for genetics professionals with an advanced degree who are early in their careers and
interested in the development and implementation of genetics health and research policies at the
national level. The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in policy analysis at the NHGRI
and the ASHG and to work directly with the U.S. Congress. The Fellowship is 16 months starting in
September through the next December. Three rotations will include: Policy and Program Analysis
Branch, Office of the Director, at NHGRI, Congressional office and/or Committee involved in
genetics-related public policy issues, and work with the administration of ASHG regarding legislative
and policy issues. Exceptional applicants with other advanced degrees and clearly demonstrated
experience-based knowledge in science policy could be considered. Completed applications must be
received by April 25, 2008. For additional information and application materials,
