These studentships are part of the Wellcome Trust’s flagship four-year PhD programme scheme which aims to support the most promising students to undertake in-depth postgraduate research training. The first year combines taught courses with laboratory rotations to broaden students’ knowledge of the subject area. At the end of the first year, students will make an informed choice of their three-year PhD research project.

There are three places available in the Institute of Neuroscienceat Newcastle University for entry in October 2008. The programme is designed to provide specialised training for physical and computational scientists (e.g. graduate physicists, chemists, engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists) wishing to apply their skills to a research neuroscience career.

For further details about the programme, please see
www.ncl.ac.uk/ion/postgrad/wellcometrust-phd.htm

*Person Specification and Value of the Award*

PhD Studentships in Mathematics - University of Bristol (UK)

Applications are invited for a number of PhD studentships in the Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol, UK. The Department of Mathematics covers a range of applied mathematics, pure mathematics and statistics research. It has an international reputation for excellence in each of these areas and in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise it was awarded ratings of 5*A for Applied Mathematics, 5B for Pure Mathematics and 5*A for Statistics.

The department offers a number of studentships up to a maximum of 3.5 year studentships for UK and EU PhD students who have been residents in the UK for 3 years prior to application, and fees-only funding for other EU students. The studentships include a tax-free stipend of £12,600 per year. Other sources of funding including the Overseas Research Studentship and Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award are available to non-EU students.

In particular, the Statistics group offer 2 studentships with 4 years of funding provided by the SuSTaIN (Statistics underpinning Science, Technology and Industry) initiative, to cover a 1 year MRes course followed by a 3 year PhD degree with a supplement of £1500 per year.

The studentships will be restricted to students of a high quality - the normal entry requirement is the equivalent of a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours at undergraduate level.

Study is based around research themes within each group. The Applied Mathematics group covers research in dynamic systems, fluid dynamics, quantum chaos, quantum information and random matrix theory. The Pure Mathematics group contributes to research in analysis and partial differential equations, number theory, non-commutative geometry and topology, representation theory, set theory and logic.

The research themes in the Statistics group include applied probability, Bayesian modelling and analysis, behavioural Biology, Monte Carlo, multiscale methods, nonparametric regression, optimisation under uncertainty, statistical bioinformatics, statistical signal processing, and time series.

Details of some possible PhD projects are available at the website http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/study/admissions_postgrad/ along with more information concerning groups, including funding schemes. *Applicants within the UK are encouraged to attend the Mathematics Postgraduate Open day on January 23rd, 2008, at the University of Bristol. *Please contact the Postgraduate Coordinator, Ms Yelena Liskevich (y.liskevich[at]bristol.ac.uk) with any further questions that are not answered by the booklets available on the website, including qualifications and eligibility for funding.

PhD in System Biology - Wageningen University (Netherlands)

Systems Biology is a rapidly developing scientific discipline that aims at explaining, predicting and controlling the complex cellular and physiological phenomena of living organisms in terms of the underlying chemical and physical processes and the involved feedback regulations. The current project aims to investigate the metabolism of the thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus, which is known for its high capacity to produce hydrogen. According to various recent reports, hydrogen will be an important renewable energy carrier in the future.

For thermodynamic reasons, hydrogen production is more feasible at elevated temperatures and fermentation studies have shown that C. saccharolyticus can indeed produce relatively high amounts of H2. The complete genome sequence was analysed recently and a DNA micro-array system has been established. The focus of the project will be on the main pathways leading to hydrogen, and quantitative data on key enzymes and metabolites need to be determined.

Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus will be cultured under defined conditions (chemostat) and the physiological, biochemical and genetic response will be analyzed by different techniques (transcriptomics, metabolomics, and biochemistry). The data obtained will be used to mathematically model the various interactions at the cellular level. This project will be carried out in close collaboration with an ongoing biohydrogen project.
