As a student, you will join a dynamic research community and develop skills to lead projects, analyze large-scale data, formulate impactful scientific questions, and effectively communicate your findings. The program equips you to contribute to frontier research across disciplines, opening career paths in academia, public service, biotechnology, and tech industries.
The PhD Program in Computational Biology aims to train independent researchers of the highest level with a deep knowledge of the foundations of computational biology as it relates to bioinformatics, molecular modeling, network theory, machine learning and population dynamics. Thus, it provides students with the ability to perform cutting-edge and innovative research in an autonomous, responsible and ethical manner for the generation of new knowledge.
The graduate of the PhD in Computational Biology at Universidad San Sebastian, is a researcher who:
Applicants must submit their academic background through the digital platform of the Doctoral Program in Computational Biology of Universidad San Sebastian.
Applicants must send their academic background through the digital platform of the Doctoral Program in Computational Biology of Universidad San Sebastian. The documentation must certify the following requirements:
The process for the selection of applicants consists of the evaluation of the applicant’s background, a personal interview and a knowledge test. In the case of applicants who reside outside the country or cannot travel to Santiago, the interview, examination and presentation will be conducted by videoconference.
