UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER
PhD Studentship in Biomedical Sciences
Applications are invited for a funded PhD studentship tenable in the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences at the Coleraine and Londonderry Campuses.
All applicants should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in BSc in any quantitative science, e.g. mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering.
Successful candidates will enrol as of September 2014, on a full-time programme of research studies leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The studentship will comprise fees together with an annual stipend of £13,863 and will be awarded for a period of up to three years subject to satisfactory progress.
The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 28th February 2014.
Interviews will be held during March 2014.
This project investigates how cholesterol metabolism and the processes leading to cardiovascular disease vary from person to person. Using data taken from large patient groups across the world we will explore this variation geographically, examining global trends and the variation within continents, and we will examine the impact of different disease types.
This will produce the first analysis of how cholesterol metabolism and the associated cardiovascular disease processes vary across large patient groups and the first geographical break-down. The project will require mathematical and computational skills. An understanding of systems biology and/or bioinformatics would be advantageous.
Please see http://www.science.ulster.ac.uk/grad...meatablism.pdf for further details.
