PhD Studentship: EPSRC Molecular Nose Project
Modelling and analysis of sensed behaviours in biochemical networks
Supervisor: Professor Muffy Calder
The Molecular Nose is an exciting, large interdisciplinary research
project involving biochemistry, cell biology, engineering, chemistry,
and computing science. The goal of the project is to build a
multiplexed sensor platform that can assess and quantify dynamic
changes in the functional state of biochemical networks in mammalian
cells, and use these data to reconstruct cell network interactions and
their dynamic behaviour on a systems wide level. The concept
underpinning this platform is fundamentally different from existing
methods used in the biological sciences to assess cell function, and
similar to the Electronic Nose, where an array of sensors is trained
with individual stimuli to establish a library of response patterns
which subsequently are used to deconvolute complex inputs. In this
project, Professors Calder and Girolami (Computing Science) will
establish a computational framework of modules for the interpretation
of input-output relationships and prediction of functional network
behaviours in response to perturbations. The aim of this studentship
is to analyse and predict how modules interact with each other. The
starting point will be Calders previous work on the interaction of
features in telecommunications networks, and also process algebraic
models of biochemical networks.
The studentship is for four years.
The studentship is suitable for candidates with a good first degree
(or Masters) in Computing Science or Mathematics, a willingness to
engage with biochemistry and engineering and to work as part of a
interdisciplinary team.
The closing date is 30 June 2007.

PhD studentships Advanced Engine Combustion Technology and their Emission
Three fully funded PhD studentships are available for candidates who are
interested in carrying out
research on the development of diesel engines for low carbon emissions. The
students working on
these projects will be registered for a degree of PhD at the School of
Engineering and Design,
Brunel University. Research on internal combustion engines and their fuels
at Brunel University is
internationally leading and amongst the most active in Europe. The group’s
expertise covers both
experimental and theoretical studies, and is aimed at minimizing pollutant
emissions and improving
fuel efficiency of gasoline and diesel engines.
The main focus of this project will be on the understanding of the use of
advanced bio-fuels in
diesel engines, mainly to study the fuel effects on the in-cylinder
combustion and the exhaust
emissions. The research project involves both experimental and theoretical
work. Various
experimental techniques such as LIF, LII and sampling will be employed in
these projects. The
experimental work will be carried out in an (optical) diesel engine.
Extensive theoretical work will be
carried out to analyse the experimental data.
Candidates should have Bachelors or Masters Degree with a 1st or 2:1 (or
equivalent) in a relevant
engineering or sciences discipline, with a background in engines or with an
interest in the use of
lasers and optics. Good experimental skills and knowledge in computer

Germany International PhD Program Molecular Cell Biology
Germany International PhD Program Molecular Cell Biology - Max-Delbrück Centre
The International PhD Programme “Molecular Cell Biology” has been established in 2003, and is a joint activity of the Max-Delbrück Centre (MDC) for Molecular Medicine and the Humboldt University (HU) Berlin. Every year 10-12 students from around the world are being selected on a competitive basis to join the Programme.
The Programme provides exceptional research opportunities and in-depth interdisciplinary training in Molecular Cell Biology, with strong emphasis on the fundamental molecular biology and molecular cell biology as a foundation of modern medicine. It is aimed at university graduates (with Diploma or Masters degree), who wish to obtain a PhD in the fields of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Cardiovascular Research, Developmental Biology and Neurobiology.
There are 41 Research Groups you could select from and it is up to you to choose that "big" question you wish to find an answer for during your PhD research. And because we have critical mass of the scientific expertise at the MDC and Berlin-Buch Campus, you would never be far away from a world expert, be it in cancer signalling pathways or genomics, systems biology or macromolecular structure, gene therapy or neuronal stem cells.
Language
The working language of the Programme is English.
Starting Date
Students should be able to start in September/October 2007
Funding
Successful PhD candidates are awarded a 3-year Scholarship from the MDC or HU, with a possibility of extension decided on a case-by-case basis. The salary level for the graduate students employed as research assistants is in accordance with the standard tariff for public service sector and is about 1400 EUR gross, which translates to between 900 - 1100 EUR net. MDC also provides travel grants to its PhD students, encouraging them to attend international scientific meetings to present their findings.
PhD Degree
As a rule, our PhD students are enrolled at the Humboldt University of Berlin or the Free University of Berlin to obtain their degree - Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.), translated as Doctor of Natural Sciences. This is a German equivalent of the PhD degree and is internationally recognised and accepted as such. Students could also opt for a university of their home country to get their PhD degree from.
Wider PhD students community at the MDC
The MDC`s PhD student community is not limited to the International PhD Programme only, - there are about 150 of graduates working on their PhDs at any point in time (do check our students` web site). Every year our PhD students organise a PhD Retreat (please, see the photo from the last one), where they present their results, meet distinguished invited speakers of their own choice, exchange ideas and socialise. But you do not have to wait for a year to get out of the lab, - in their free time our graduates also organise regular outings, or, as it is called here `Stammtisch`.
