MRes Studentship Opportunity in Bioinformatics
A fully funded one-year MRes studentship in Bioinformatics is available immediately for a start date in late September or October 2008; note that this post is open to Indian nationals only. The stipend (£9,132) and fees (£10,200) will both be covered in full, and travel costs from India to the UK can be refunded. Details of the course structure and assessment procedures can be found at www.nottingham.ac.uk/biology/masters_courses/masters_by_research/course_structure.php
This research project will be supervised by Dr Matthew Loose, and will use bioinformatic approaches to investigate the network of stress-response pathways in Caenorhabditis and Drosophila), as part of an overarching UK-IERI-funded initiative to model this network mathematically.
Applicants should hold the equivalent of a 1st or 2i Honours degree in Biology or Genetics; basic bioinformatic skills (sequence alignment packages such as Lagan or equivalent, familiarity with genome and model organism databases) will be an advantage. Candidates are also required to have a high level of English language ability as reflected in a recognised English qualification (minimum of 6.5 in IELTS with no less than 6 in any element or 573 in TOEFL with 4.5 for writing or equivalent).
