Studentships are available for highly qualified applicants for 4-year PhD projects in Integrative Systems Biology at the University of Manchester, UK. These studentships are available to the applicants from the UK and abroad.
Background
Systems Biology is the new science that aims at understanding how living organisms function in health and fail in disease. The new insight is that the important properties of life arise in interactions between individuals, from individual molecules, through individual cells, through organs. The new point in history is that experimental methodology is now available to look at virtually all molecules and other components of living cells. Using modern mathematics and bioinformatics to make computer models of what happens in and with living organisms, Systems Biology seeks to understand how molecules are guided to self-organise into complex processes such as the cell cycle, reproduction, adaptation to a variety of challenges, and the formation of complex structures (www.mcisb.org)Both academia and the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industry have realised that the vast amounts of information about individual molecules offered by genomics can only be put to use and lead to understanding through Systems Biology.
Following substantial investments in the new Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB, www.mib.ac.uk), the Manchester Centre of Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB, www.mcisb.org), and the AstraZeneca Chair of Systems Biology, the University of Manchester houses a doctoral training centre for Integrated Systems Biology. Inspired by the top scientists in Systems Biology, students with a physical science/engineering/mathematics background will be teamed up with students from biological and medical backgrounds. Candidates from both backgrounds are invited to apply. They will engage in extensive training, both experimental and theoretical, in Systems Biology within the MIB and in partner groups all over the world.
Eligibility for Funding
Applicants should have an undergraduate or masters degree in the biological, medical sciences or in the physical sciences, mathematics or engineering.
Studentships are available to applicants from the UK and abroad.
Further information and Application
For further information or to apply, email in the first instance Lynne Davies: DTC@manchester.ac.uk

3 PhD positions in Migration and Development, Maastricht University
The Maastricht Graduate School of Governance (Maastricht University) is looking for 3 PhD candidates to work on a project on Migration and Development financed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Applicants must be willing to work on 1 of 3 research themes:
Remittances, development (local economic growth) and poverty alleviation The main research question of this first theme will be: To what extent do remittances contribute to development (local economic growth) and welfare including poverty alleviation, the reduction of inequality, vulnerably and increased capabilities?
Brain drain and development policy The types of questions answered under this theme are: What effect does the option for emigration have on potential migrants or institutions in the sending countries? What is the effect of emigration on the sending country due to the loss of human capital? What effects do the highly skilled migrants have on the sending country while aboard? What makes migrants return and how can this be enhanced? What are the impacts of existing general development policy on the propensity of the highly skilled populations in developing countries to migrate to developed countries?
Return migration in the life cycle of migrants Theme 3 focuses on topics such as: How does return migration fit within the life cycle of migrant workers and migrants coming to developed countries for other reasons (family reunification, asylum)? Under what circumstances do returnees have a positive/negative impact on development? Can reintegration schemes make a positive contribution? Factors like permanent or temporary work/residence permits and voluntary or forced return will be taken into account.

2 PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials for Cochlear Implants
PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials – Next Generation Insulation for Cochlear Implants
Currently, soft silicone materials are employed as insulation for implantable Cochlear electrode arrays. However these materials have limited tensile properties and tear resistance, thereby significantly hampering the scope for new and more complex electrode array designs. The central aim of this project is to explore new insulation materials with similar flexibility, biocompatibility, biostability and electrical insulation to silicone, but with far superior tensile and tear strength.
This will be achieved through the development of biomedical polyurethane nanocomposites via a collaboratively- conceived and executed project featuring significant cooperation between researchers at UQ, Cochlear Ltd (Sydney) and Aortech Biomaterials (Melbourne).
The project team (and supervisors) includes: A/Prof Darren Martin, Prof Rod Minchin and Prof Peter Halley from The University of Queensland; Dr Martin Svehla from Cochlear Ltd and Dr Ajay Padsalgikar from Aortech Biomaterials Pty Ltd. This project is funded by Cochlear, Aortech and the NHMRC.
Requirements: B.Eng., B.Sc. or Masters Degree in Materials or Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biology or Biomedical Engineering.
Remuneration: Stipend – APA equivalent (tax-free and indexed) for 3 yrs.
Deadline: open
