UP TO TWENTYSIX (26) 4-YEAR D.PHIL STUDENTSHIPS
Life Sciences Interface and Systems Biology Doctoral Training Centres
EPSRC/BBSRC
Stipend :£12,600 per annum Start Date: October 2007
Applications are invited for up to 13 studentships within both the Life Sciences Interface (LSI), and 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. The DTC
programmes are a new initiative to provide research training at the interface between the physical and life sciences.
The 4-year training programmes consist of up to four terms of taught courses plus extended projects and laboratory rotations that will provide students with the necessary biological, experimental, and theoretical background
before they choose to specialise by undertaking a substantive research project.
LIFE SCIENCES INTERFACE
Students will undertake their research in one of four internationally renowned research programmes in Oxford, covering medical imaging, biological physics, bioinformatics, and mathematical biology.
SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
students will complete their research projects within this
exciting new research centre focussing on a wide spectrum of theoretical and experimental research problems in the dynamic new field of Systems Biology.
A key feature of the programme is that students only have to choose their research topic after the first year.
