Systems Biology
Doctoral Training Centres
EPSRC/BBSRC Stipend £12,600 per annum (current); Start Date: October 2008
Closing Date for Applications: 1st February 2008
Applications are invited for up to 24 studentships within the Systems Biology (Sysbio) Doctoral Training Centres. The modern biomedical sciences present many exciting and stimulating challenges for researchers from life, physical and mathematical sciences backgrounds, and there is a substantial and growing demand in the public and private sector for doctoral graduates in these areas. Our programmes are part of the new initiative to provide research training at the interface between the physical and life sciences.
This 4-year programme consists of two terms of taught courses plus extended projects and laboratory rotations that will provide you with the necessary biological, experimental, and theoretical background before you choose to specialise by undertaking a substantive research project.
You will complete your research project linked to the Oxford Centre for Integrative Systems Biology and will undertake your research in one of four main research areas covering chemosensory networks and whole organism behaviour; signalling pathway modelling; molecules to cells; and integrative biology.
A key feature of the programme is that students only have to choose their research topic after the first year.
