Taiwan International Graduate Program - Various Field
The Taiwan International Graduate Program has been established to attracthighly qualified young researchers both from home and abroad in order to helpjump-start the development of several frontier areas that are crucial to thefuture development in science and technology. Specific graduate programs havebeen developed to enhance the innovative potential and academic standards ofresearch on these and related fields. Within this context, the graduate programon "Bioinformatics" is designed to offer specific training and researchopportunities to Ph.D. students interested in working on this particular area.
The TIGP Program on Bioinformatics (BP) is ajoint-degree program sponsored by Academia Sinica (Institute of InformationScience, Institute of Statistical Science, and Institute of Biomedical Sciences), National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University and National Yang Ming University. Additional teaching support will be available from other majorresearch universities in Taiwan.Unlike most Bioinformatics programs offered in other universities that adoptexisting courses in various departments, our courses are specifically designedfor BP students and taught by active and experienced researchers inbioinformatics. The program provides interdisciplinary training and researchopportunities that seamlessly integrate the related areas so that students canbe well-prepared for independent research in this new, fascinating areas ofbioinformatics. We will focus on genetics and proteomics study and emphasizedata transfer, data analysis, biological information and biological featureextraction, knowledge management using advanced computation methodologies andcomputer science technology.
The TIGP will provide full fellowship support for all graduate students for 3 years. In subsequent years, the financial support for outstanding students will be in general in the form of graduate research assistantships provided by the National Science Council or Academia Sinica. The stipend levels are about NT$ 32,000 (about US$ 950) per month.
