Who can apply?

This is a national course. The course is open for PhD students, postdocs, group leaders and core facility staff within all Swedish universities. Even if we do accept application from other countries, we give priority to applicants from Swedish universities prior to applicants from industry and academics from other countries.

Practical exercises will be performed using either R or Python, so we only accept students that fulfil the entry requirements below.

Entry requirements

  • You are used to program in either R and/or Python
  • You already understand the basis of NGS technologies
  • You are able to analyse bulk RNA-sequencing data
  • You are used to navigate and use UNIX command line (bash)
  • Have full access to your computer (admin permissions). Instructions on installation will be sent by email to accepted participants.

Due to limited space the course can accommodate maximum of 25 participants. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance.
