PhD Studentships in Imaging Life at University of Sheffield in UK, 2013/14

The Departments of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Physics and Astronomy and Chemistry offers PhD Studentships in Imaging Life at University of Sheffield in UK. Seven PhD studentships are offered. UK, EU and Overseas Students can apply for this scholarship. 
Study Subject(s): Scholarships are provided in the field of imaging life. Course Level: This scholarship is available for pursuing PhD degree level. Scholarship Provider: The Departments of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Physics and Astronomy and Chemistry   Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: University welcome applications from students with first degrees in Biological, Chemical or Physical Sciences. Studentships are available for UK, EU and overseas candidates.
-University aim to create a cohort of PhD students with interdisciplinary research skills working at the cutting-edge of new microscopy methods and their application to important biological problems. This requires flexible individuals with a range of backgrounds who will learn from each other and gain a wide range of skills and enhanced scientific knowledge in this fast moving area.

Scholarship Open for International Students: UK, EU and Overseas Students can apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: The Departments of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Physics and Astronomy and Chemistry invite applications for its ‘Imaging Life’ doctoral training programme. ‘Imaging Life’ is part of a prestigious Vice Chancellor-led strategic initiative, 2022 Futures, which provides a platform for ambitious research growth in areas that the University of Sheffield is recognised for internationally.We are recruiting a cohort of seven PhD studentships on a 3.5 year programme of integrated research and skills training, with cross-disciplinary supervision. Successful candidates will be central to the growth of ‘Imaging Life’ activities and will be part of a broader community associated with the 2022 Futures initiative. Imaging is fundamental to our understanding of biological structure and function. The study of cellular processes relies on our ability to visualise cellular components to determine their localisation and interaction with one another. In particular, knowledge has been driven by technological developments in microscopy coupled with the use of labelled molecules within cells enabling key insights into basic processes such as cell growth and division. Existing methods and levels of understanding are being rapidly superseded by new approaches in fluorescence, atomic force and electron microscopy.
Number of award(s): Seven PhD studentships are offered.
Duration of award(s): Scholarship is offered for 3.5 year programme.
What does it cover? Total offer is of cover fees and a stipend for three and a half years.
Selection criteria: Not Known
Notification:  Not Known
