Graduate school in population genetics, Finland
The Finnish graduate school in population genetics
The graduate school in population genetics is funded by the Department of Education and the Academy of Finland. The school builds a doctoral program and trains graduate students in the broad area of population genetics. The students take formal courses and carry out research work and complete a doctoral thesis in about four years.
The students entering the school should join a research project led by one of the supervisors that are members of the school. The topics covered by different projects include evolutionary genetics, bioinformatics, genetic epidemiology, gene mapping, plant and animal breeding, conservation genetics, molecular anthropology and archaeology,
and risks associated with GMO. The working place depends on the research group and the supervisor (http://cc.oulu.fi/~biolwww/PopGenSchool/ )
The salary is set by the Department of Education which finances the graduate school, but the local university (research group) can pay a somewhat higher salary that includes some teaching duties.
