    BACKGROUND

    The Gruenstaeudl lab (https://gruenstaeudl-lab.com) at Fort Hays State University (FHSU) in Hays, Kansas is starting an NIH-funded research project in the area of genomic data mining and bioinformatic software development and is recruiting three graduate students with a strong background in bioinformatics, data science or computer science who are interested in enrolling in a 2-year Master's program that starts in spring 2025.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Programming experience in either Python or R
    • B.S. degree in bioinformatics, data science or computer science

    COMPENSATION

    Each graduate student position includes (i) graduate assistantships for the spring and fall semester, (ii) a summer internship, and (iii) university-sponsored tuition waivers (excluding tuition fee) for in-person classes (max. 9 credit hours per semester), each for at least one year of the 2-year degree program. An equal compensation during the second year of the program is possible, contingent on a reasonable research progress. Funding for the attendance of at least one national-level science conference, in which the students will present their research, is also available.

    TERMS

    The positions are part of the Master of Science in Biology graduate program at FHSU (https://www.fhsu.edu/biology/biology-graduate-studies/), and students can choose graduate-level courses from biology as well as other departments (e.g., computer science or mathematics) to fulfill the degree requirements as long as the selected courses fit the student's graduate research project and the departmental guidelines. The start date of these positions, as well as of enrollment in the graduate program, is the beginning of spring semester 2025.

    HOW TO APPLY

    Students with programming experience in either Python or R are encouraged to contact Dr. Michael Gruenstaeudl to learn more about this opportunity and the research project. To do so, please send a brief message with your academic background and your career goals, your current CV/resume, and an example of a recent coding project of yours (e.g., a GitHub link).
