EDITORIAL
This 'summer' edition of the Newsletter is very short - a more extensive edition will follow in the autumn.LINKAGE COURSES
The last linkage course at Columbia University was held June 24-28. The next linkage courses will be at Rockefeller University (and, as in the past, at the University of Zurich). Dates are given below. Interested researchers are urged to apply early as our courses tend to fill up quickly:October 7-11, 1996, at University of Zurich, Switzerland (advanced course, maximum of 12 participants). Deadline for applicationsis August 20, 1996.
October 14-18, 1996, at Rockefeller University (advanced course, maximum of 20 participants, with preference to participants from U.S. institutions and companies). Deadline for applications is August 30, 1996.
To obtain information on these courses, please write to Katherine Montague, course coordinator, by email (preferred) or fax.
We will use our book (Terwilliger and Ott, "Handbook of Human Genetic Linkage", Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994), with supplemental handouts for advanced courses. Participants are expected to buy the book and bring it to the course; in case of problems please contact Katherine Montague in advance of the course. A list of corrections for the book may be downloaded from our anonymous ftp site, linkage.cpmc.columbia.edu (file corr_ter.txt in directory book).
OPEN POSITIONS
In our new Laboratory of Statistical Genetics at Rockefeller University,
New York, we are looking for colleagues to join us in our efforts to develop, implement, and apply methods of linkage analysis and association to find genes underlying complex traits. Positions are open at the postdoctoral level, and faculty positions may be discussed at any time. We are particularly interested in researchers with a good background in statistical genetics. Rockefeller University is located in a prime area in Manhattan, situated in a garden-like campus. The University's Starr Center for Human Genetics provides diverse opportunities for application of new methods and active collaboration on interesting data sets.
