MU Informatics Institute (MUII) is recruiting SIX highly qualified 
trainees to pursue PhD degree in Informatics through an 
interdisciplinary training team. Students from basic sciences, life 
sciences, medicine, and computing disciplines are welcome to apply.  Our 
unique training includes: (1) personalized training modules from core 
courses of the MS degree in Data Science and Analytics program, Big Data 
courses from Computer Science, and biomedical informatics courses from 
MUII, which will expose trainees to the basic concepts, ethics, and 
working knowledge in Big Data Science; (2) a problem-based learning 
curriculum in pre-doctoral-level Big Data-related courses, such as 
Mining Massive Data Sets for Biomedical Applications, designed to foster 
a team science approach to problem-solving; (3) a student-driven journal 
club/seminar series, in which students are offered opportunities to 
present research, pose questions, and receive feedback from peers and 
mentors.  Our interdisciplinary components include (1) required tri-lab 
rotations to introduce students to animal/veterinary medical research, 
human medical research, computing/statistical methodologies, and health 
communications; (2) development of rigorous and reproducible open-source 
Big Data analytics tools, which will be assessed by the One Health 
research community after arduous testing; and (3) creation of an 
Individual Development Plan based on each trainee’s background and 
career goal prior to joining the program. These positions are open to 
permanent residents and US citizens only. Women and minority students 
are encouraged to apply.

Applications are now open and will close on May 1, 2016.  For
