Sanger Institute’s Clinical PhD Programme
Seven clinical fellowships are available each year, two of which are funded by the Institute. The two Sanger Institute fellowships are open to overseas applicants and you do not need to be GMC registered. It is anticipated that most applicants will have already commenced their specialist training, but this is not essential. The most important criteria we are looking for are academic excellence and the potential to pursue a career in academic medicine. Salaries are maintained in accordance with recognized UK clinical academic scales. Before starting their PhD, clinicians selected for the programme are able to meet potential supervisors across the departments

Sanger Institute’s 4-year PhD Programme
Students spend the first seven months of the programme undertaking three rotation projects in different research groups. This ensures exposure to different disciplines in genomics, and allows the students to gain a better overall picture of the scientific nature of the Institute and the different technologies that are available. In particular, all students are required to carry out at least one informatics rotation and one experimental laboratory rotation. This helps students to develop wide ranging skills both at the bench and in data analysis. Students are required to write a short report and make a presentation to the group at the end of each project. Selection of the final PhD projec

University of Oxford | Identifying Complex Disease Genes in Humans
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have resulted in an unprecedented wealth of information on the genetic basis of complex diseases. Lists of known genes and genetic variants associated with diseases, such as type II diabetes, Crohn’s disease and numerous psychiatric disorders, are expanding rapidly. Using genotype and phenotype data from multiple model organisms, along with a large number of functional genomics datasets, we will investigate the characteristics of the genes and variants that predispose to complex disease. Along the way we will answer important questions such as: Whether equivalent (orthologous) genes in rodents and humans contribute to equivalent phe

European Molecular Biology Laboratory | International PhD Programme, Spring Selection 2010
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] is an international research organisation with its main laboratory in Heidelberg [Germany], and four outstations in Hinxton, [UK] [the European Bioinformatics Institute, EBI], Grenoble [France], Hamburg [Germany], and Monterotondo [Italy]. Our research projects are interdisciplinary and offer exciting opportunities for biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, informaticians, engineers and medical graduates who want to pursue a PhD in the molecular life sciences. Do you want to work in an international environment and in small groups with close contact to mentors? Collaboration

PhD scholarships in Signal Processing and Wireless Communications for a joint EPSRC project (the Uni
Applications are invited for two 3-year PhD studentships funded as part of an EPSRC joint project (Reading, York, and BT). The studentships provide an opportunity to carry out cutting edge research in signal processing and wireless communications and to interact with industry in a 3-year programme leading to the degree of PhD. The specific area of research is distributed multiple antenna systems (cooperative diversity), focusing on low complexity distributed space-time block coding. More details on the project can be found at http://www.reading.ac.uk/sse/pg-research/sse-pgrstudentships.aspx One student will be based at the University of Reading
