| BBSRC Doctoral Training Centre in Food Security
PhD Studentship at the University of Surrey
Project Title: Metabolic systems biology of Campylobacter jejuni.
Supervisors:Dr Simon Park, Dr Dany Beste and Dr Jane Ward (Rothamsted Research)
School/Department: Department of Microbial and Cellular Sciences,Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
Overview:
The focus of this PhD project is to apply novel systems-based approaches to probe the metabolism of the major foodborne bacterial pathogen Campylobacter jejuni in different environmental conditions relevant to its life cycle. The student will be trained in microbiology, cell biology and systems-based metabolic analysis, such as 13C-metabolic flux analysis, as well as advanced mass spectrometry techniques such as GC-MS. The aim of the project is to dissect the metabolic pathways of C. jejuni in vitro andalso within host cells.
Eligibility:
Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Please note that, due to restrictions on the funding, this studentship is for UK/EU applicants only.
Funding Details:
Studentship will cover Home/EU Fees and pay the Research Council minimum stipend (£13,590 for 2011/12) for up to 4 years. The studentship will begin in October 2013.
How to apply:
To apply for this studentship please submit an application for a PhD in Systems Biology to the University ¿ see: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/medicalsciences/microbialsciences-phd/.
Application Deadline: Friday 22nd February 2013
