Training or employment in Statistical Genetics with Dr. Wijsman

Please note: For trainees at all levels, please note that Dr. Wijsman is now retired and an emeritus professor. She does not have funding for trainees or research assistants.

Dr. Wijsman is still willing to provide some consulting and advice to trainees who are working with her long-term collaborators, as long as there is priori agreement as to what this arrangement would consist of.

Also, please note that Dr. Wijsman's statistical genetics laboratory is strictly a dry (computational) laboratory.

Staff positions with Dr. Wijsman

Prospective Undergraduate Students

Please do not expect a response if you are emailing from outside the US and are looking for a summer internship or a volunteer opportunity! We do not have a mechanism to accept such students.

Prospective Graduate Students

Dr. Wijsman is no longer taking graduate students. UW graduate students who are potentially interested in research work in statistical genetics or genetic epidemiology should contact one of the younger faculty members in the Department of Biostatistics, the Department of Genome Sciences, or the Public Health Genetics program (Click on Interdisciplinary Programs). Dr. Wijsman may still agree to serve on student committees, but only as a non-reader or a non-GFR member.

Students applying from elsewhere should not contact faculty members directly, and MUST apply to individual departments or programs. Only after students have been accepted and have completed the first year of their program (or more, depending on the program), can they then approach individual faculty members as possible dissertation advisors. Please note that the Division of Medical Genetics does not have a PhD graduate program, but does have a postdoctoral program and a MS-level genetic counsellor program.

Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows

Dr. Wijsman is no longer taking postdoctoral trainees.
