Overseas students with independent funding may be interested in the new 4-year Integrated PhD, further details of which can be obtained from either address below. There will be some enhancement to maintenance. During the first year the student will undertake research apprenticeships in a minimum of three separate laboratories, as well as following taught courses in research techniques, professional skills and additional modules. Thesis research will be selected during the first year to begin research in the second year. Applications for both the above posts will be considered as they are received, and will be accepted until the positions are filled.
Early application is recommended.
Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, at least an upper second class degree in a relevant subject and be a citizen of an EU Country. Informal enquiries encouraged. There are three studentships available in the Department of Psychology. The studentships will be held within Professor Besra's research group conducting studies on tuberculosis aimed at identifying new drug targets and vaccines. The student will be based partly in Newcastle and partly in the laboratories of Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, world leaders in proteomic technologies.
