MPhil/PhD in Communicable Diseases - Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool John Moores University MPhil/PhD Studentship - up to 3 years
Communicable
Disease Morbidity and Mortality among Problematic Drug Users
The studentship covers university fees at the UK/EU level and a stipend of
£12,600 per annum
*Please quote Ref: B7345AC*
The Centre for Public Health, Liverpool John Moores University invites
applications for an MPhil/PhD studentship to conduct a programme of research
focussing on communicable diseases affecting problematic drug users.
Drug users are particularly vulnerable to a range of blood borne infections
including hepatitis B, C and HIV, due to injecting with non-sterile
equipment and risky injecting behaviour. Hepatitis C is currently the most
significant infectious disease affecting those who inject drugs, with
concern nationally regarding the rising number of infections in the UK as a
whole. Research has also identified the implicative role of infections in
deaths of drug users from localised and systemic bacterial infections and
illnesses associated with viral infections, however infection-related deaths
are largely ignored in official statistics relating to drug-related deaths.
The student will be expected to develop a research programme focussing on
communicable diseases affecting problematic drug users, to inform knowledge
and understanding of the true burden and cost of drug-related mortality and
blood borne viruses. The research will be highly quantitative and require
extensive application of multivariate statistical techniques. The student
will be expected to have experience in handling large datasets and data
manipulation and a statistical background would be advantageous. People with
basic statistical abilities who wish to develop these in a public health
setting are encouraged to apply, in addition to those with research
experience in a health-related field. Applicants must demonstrate research
or statistical experience in their application.
Applicants should have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree and a relevant
Masters degree would be an advantage (professional research experience would
also be considered). The student will join active teams of researchers in
the fields of substance use epidemiology and drug use prevention. The work
programme will be supported by academics and professionals with specialist
expertise and networks, in addition to the support and development
opportunities provided by the University Research and Graduate School and
the Faculty of Health and Applied Social Sciences.
The studentship covers university fees at the UK/EU level and a stipend of
£12,600 per annum for full-time study for up to three years. The student
will register initially for the award of MPhil and will be expected to
transfer to PhD registration within 12-15 months (subject to satisfactory
progress and approval of the transfer report).
For an informal discussion, contact the Director of Studies for the research
programme, Dr Caryl Beynon (email: c.m.beynon@ljmu.ac.uk). To apply, please
complete the application form for postgraduate study, and send with your CV
(optional) and a cover letter explaining your interests and skills relating
to this opportunity to Dr Diana Leighton, Castle House, North Street,
Liverpool, L3 2AY (d.j.leighton@ljmu.ac.uk; 0151 231 4551). Application

PhD Studentship in Mathematical Ecology
*Postgraduate Opportunities in Ecology*
A PhD studentship in mathematical ecology is available within the
Biodiversity Research Group at University College Cork, Ireland.
*Predicting the dynamical consequences of biodiversity change in complex
systems.*
This project will explore the dynamic consequences of species loss from
large complex food webs. Food webs can be viewed as complex systems of
interacting species and have a number of network properties that can be
explored from a mathematical perspective. The aim of the project will be to
use mathematical and computational approaches to investigate the importance
of species in a food web context. The project will use documented patterns
of body size, abundance and food web structure to parameterise models of a
series of marine food webs with a special focus on Lough Hyne, south west
Ireland. We are also interested in dynamics of food webs in general. We are
currently recruiting for a Ph.D in theoretical ecology (Applied Mathematics)
to work on the project. The prospective candidate should have a background
in mathematics. The applicant should be open to multidisciplinary research
and have a full and clean drivers licence. The scholarship will be in the
region of ?24,000 a year inclusive of fees and research costs.
Interested candidates should send a CV and cover letter to Dr. Mark Emmerson
at m.emmerson@ucc.ie (Tel: 00353 21 490 1951) by *Friday 27th September 2007

PhD Studentship in Medicine - University of Dundee
PhD Studentship Division of Surgery & Oncology
*Identifying potential therapeutic targets in non-melanoma skin cancer - a
devastating complication of the genetic skin disease dystrophic
epidermolysis bullosa (DEB)*
Certain genetic skin diseases predispose to developing non melanoma skin
cancer. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a devastating
genetic skin disease characterised by chronic erosions and blistering of the
skin. Not only do patients suffer from continual trauma induced skin
fragility, but are at a huge increased risk of developing Squamous cell
carcinoma (SCC). Unlike spontaneously arising SCC in the general population,
RDEB SCC are highly aggressive and prone to metastasis, with 55% of all
patients dying before the age of 40 years from this complication.
A three-year PhD studentship funded by DEBRA is available immediately to
join Dr Andrew South and the EB team at Dundee University, who have been
working towards genetic characterisation of RDEB SCC. Using a combination of
Affymetrix 10K genomic SNP mapping arrays and Illumina sentrix bead
expression arrays, genetic changes have been identified that are specific to
SCC development in both RDEB and non-RDEB individuals. This project will
follow up a number of candidate genetic loci identified in our initial
screens, as well as offering the opportunity to be involved in extending the
SNP genomic mapping using higher density 330K arrays and a larger sample set
with a view to identifying pathways and targets important in the development
of metastatic SCC.
Applications are invited from well-motivated candidates with at least an
upper second class honours degree in a relevant discipline. Candidates with
Masters degrees are also encouraged to apply. An ability to demonstrate
practical skills in cell or molecular biology would be an advantage. The
successful candidate will work in modern laboratories within the Division of
Surgery & Oncology, which is part of the School of Medicine, based at
Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. For an informal discussion, please contact the
lead project supervisor Dr Andrew South, tel: 01382 496432; email:
a.p.south@dundee.ac.uk.
The studentship pays tuition fees at UK/EU rate plus a maintenance stipend
of £12,600 per annum. Non-EU applicants will have to fund the difference
between home and oversees tuition fees themselves, approximately £8000 per
annum for 3 years.

meriting regulations (wage levels 43/47). From the gross wage a 2 %
law-enforced membership fee in the State Pension Fund ("Statens
Pensjonskasse") is deducted.
The University of Bergen wishes to attain a more equal gender
distribution for academic positions. Female candidates are thus
strongly encouraged to apply. If several applicants are equally
qualified for the position, the internal rules for gender quotas for
academic positions will be applied.
State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at
