United Kingdom - 2009 Scottish Univeristies Physics Alliance PhD Studentships in Physics

Eight fully funded Prize PhD Studentships
+ over 100 other funded PhD places in physics in Scotland

The Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) opens a single front door into physics PhDs in Scotland. When you apply for SUPA Prize PhD Studentship you will also be considered for all other funded places available in physics departments in Scotland.

Major themes pursued by researchers in SUPA are:

  • astronomy and space
  • condensed matter and material physics
  • nuclear and plasma physics
  • particle physics
  • photonics
  • physics and life sciences

UK and overseas students are invited to apply for 8 fully funded SUPA studentships and more than 100 other funded PhD places in physics in Scotland for 2009.

SUPA Studentships
SUPA is offering eight fully funded PhD studentships for outstanding students from anywhere in the world. These prestigious and competitive awards are intended to attract excellent students to study for a PhD in Scotland.

UK - Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Edinburgh and Dundee PhD Studentships in Cell & Proteomic Technologies

10 PhD Studentships in Cell & Proteomic Technologies at the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Edinburgh and Dundee

Proteomics, Lab-on-a-Chip, Microsystems, Spectroscopy, Tissue Engineering Imaging and Biosciences

Deadline - 11th January 2008

Applications sought immediately - posts will be offered to well-qualified candidates as they are identified

Ten fully funded, four year Studentships are available to start in late September 2008, with student grant funding being provided by the EPSRC and the host Universities.

The studentships are part of an exciting, internationally renowned, cross-University (Glasgow, Strathclyde, Edinburgh & Dundee) Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration that is already well established. This brings together world-leaders in the fields of proteomics, cell biology, imaging and microfluidics, focussing on a wide range of technologies in cell and molecular biology, tissue engineering, microarrays, BioMEMS, Lab-on-a-Chip, sensors, analytical instrumentation, mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy.

UK - University of Dundee Postdoctoral Research Assistant in MYC Oncogene Mechanisms and Function

Postdoctoral Research Assistant
MYC Oncogene Mechanisms and Function
Division of Cell Biology and Immunology, College of Life Sciences

TRAINING GRADE 7 / GRADE 7
(£23,692 - £30,913)

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral assistant to investigate novel biochemical mechanisms and signalling pathways by which Myc oncogenes promote cell proliferation and cell transformation (see Cowling et al (2007) Mol Cell Biol 27:5135, and Cowling et al (2007) Mol Cell Biol 27:2059). The successful candidate will work with Victoria Cowling at the College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee (http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/aboutus).

Details of Victoria Cowling’s research and publications can be found on her personal website:
http://www.victoriacowling.com/research/index.html.

The project will be approached using biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology in a variety of model systems. This position is funded by the MRC for three years in the first instance and is available from December 2007.
