Integrative Mammalian Physiology
University of Nottingham
BBSRC Targeted Priority Studentships Integrative Mammalian Physiology School of Biosciences Applications are invited from students with a suitable qualification in neuroscience, biology, physiology (or a related discipline) for a four year studentship funded by the BBSRC entitled "Electrophysiological and pharmacological characterisation of an in vivo model of rheumatoid arthritis". Chronic pain due to inflammatory conditions such as arthritis remains a major problem in both humans and animals, therefore in vivo models of inflammation are essential for studying its treatment. From an histopathological perspective, the "antigen-induced arthritis" (AIA) model is one of the best models of human rheumatoid arthritis, but in vivo studies characterising its effects on sensory processing and motor responses are absent. The project will provide training in in vivo electrophysiological recording, movement analysis and pharmacological techniques, which will be employed in the AIA model to study receptor-based mechanisms behind chronic pain and motor dysfunction. This project will be jointly supervised by Dr John Harris (School of Biosciences) and Dr Ali Mobasheri (School of Veterinary Medicine and Science). For more details see: [url]http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/biosciences/[/url]. The successful student will be registered for a PhD (MPhil in the first instance) and will be affiliated with the School of Biosciences. This studentship is available for a period of four years and provides a postgraduate stipend of £12,600 per annum. Due to funding restrictions, only EU residents are eligible for this award (see: [url]http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/funding/training/dtg.html)[/url], which will be conditional on the attainment of a 2i degree or higher. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr J Harris, Email: [email]John.Harris@Nottingham.ac.uk[/email]. Applications, with a detailed CV and the names and addresses of two academic referees, should be sent to Dr J Harris, Division of Animal Physiology, School of Biosciences, The University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE12 5RD.

Gas Phase Chemical Physics
University of Nottingham
PhD Studentship Gas Phase Chemical Physics School of Chemistry An EPSRC funded PhD studentship associated with a collaborative project between Professor Katharine Reid and Dr Tim Wright is available at the University of Nottingham. The project is entitled "Probing intramolecular dynamical processes in electronically excited states of small aromatic molecules using picosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging and ZEKE" and its aim is to use the complementary combination of picosecond time-resolved velocity-map photoelectron imaging and ZEKE, together with Franck-Condon calculations, to identify the dark states responsible for excited state intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in vibrationally selected excited state molecules. The experiments will use a newly obtained ultrafast laser system at the University of Nottingham and will be used to investigate the mode-dependent role of the hindered rotation of a methyl group in intramolecular dynamics. Experiments will be conducted on a series of state-selected molecules in which one or two methyl groups are attached at different positions on a benzene ring, and the information obtained on the dark states populated as a function of time during the redistribution dynamics used to generate information on "doorway states" and other mechanistic details relevant to a range of molecular systems. Students must have a 2:1 or 1st class MSci or MChem degree in chemistry, physics or chemical physics. This studentship is available from 1 October 2008 for a period of 3½ years. Due to funding restrictions, full funding is only available for UK/EU students; international students will require additional funding. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor K Reid, Email: [email]Katharine.Reid@Nottingham.ac.uk[/email]. Further details are available at: [url]http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~pczklr/research.htm[/url]. Formal applications must be made through the University of Nottingham Graduate School using the form available at: [url]https://pgapps.nottingham.ac.uk/[/url]. |
Full-time PhD Studentship in Cell Biology
Full-time PhD Studentship in Cell Biology
Department of Life Sciences Faculty of Science Based in Milton Keynes “The response of human brain endothelium and astrocytes to vasoactive mediators”, funded by the Migraine Trust. The aim of the project is to determine how brain microvascular endothelial cells can modulate local blood flow, and contribute to the electrophysiological disturbances that underlie migraine aura. The work will use tissue culture systems to investigate the mediators released by brain endothelium. The effects of endothelin, nitric oxide and eicosanoids on the permeability of endothelium and the activation of astrocytes, will be examined in association with drugs that may be used in treating migraine. You should have a good honours degree in a biological or biomedical science, emphasis molecular cell biology. Informal enquiries may be made to Prof. David Male: email [email]D.K.Male@open.ac.uk[/email]; telephone 01908 659226. |
Complexity Science PhD Fellowships awarded each Academic year/term
4-year PhD Studentships
Physics and Complexity EPSRC Complexity Science Doctoral Training Centre SCHOLARSHIP MAX Stipend £14,000 tax-free per annum Full funding and fee grants are available to UK and EU students respectively for PhDs in the field of Complexity Science. Complexity Science focuses on systems of many interdependent components, showing Emergent behaviour at the system level, Self-organisation and/or Evolution. Our Centre draws on aspects of these in existing fields, including mathematics from dynamical systems and chaos, statistical inference, physics of phase transitions, self-assembly in chemistry, network modelling in biology and neuroscience, interacting agent modelling in economics and computer science. We also look to apply scientific methods in new fields of opportunity, such as transport, health and social science applications where mass quantitative data is newly available in this information age. As a student in the Complexity Science DTC, you will begin with teaching on a coherent core of complexity science concepts. You then explore application in more depth through two 12 week mini-projects, choosing from selected proposals across the full range of applications at Warwick and our external collaborators. Satisfactory performance qualifies you for an MSc degree in Complexity Science. PhD topics are chosen towards the end of the first year, again from vetted proposals which should reflect the cross-disciplinary spirit of Complexity Science and will each have two supervisors from different departments. Throughout your three years of PhD research you will be expected to maintain strong contact with the Complexity centre, attending seminars, reporting your own research progress, and joining in our programme of transferable skills. The Transferable Skills Programme is built on that of our sister MOAC Doctoral Training Centre; the latter considered to be a landmark success in this regard. We aim to look after our students and to treat them well. We have several EPSRC funded studentships for UK students (premium stipend ~£14,000 in 2007/08), and EU students can apply for a limited number of grants covering tuition fees only. Travel funds are available, and there is additional financial support for some mini-projects hosted away from Warwick. The Centre is led by a team of experienced Warwick professors, plus EPSRC and RCUK funding have enabled us to appoint six new academic staff directly associated with it. The University is housing the DTC in a new dedicated Centre along with our wider Complexity [research] Complex. Applicants should hope to obtain a first class degree in a scientific, mathematical or analytical subject, and you need some natural orientation towards modelling problems in quantitative mathematical terms.
