>Food Standards Agency (FSA) Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme PhD studentship
>
>The Postgraduate Medical School (PGMS) at the University of Surrey, in
>collaboration with the Food Standards Agency (FSA), invites applications
>for an FSA PhD studentship on a project to develop dose-response models to
>characterize low dose effects of chemicals and mixtures. The studentship
>is available for 3 years and will cover fees and maintenance. The tax-free
>maintenance allowance is at the level of £12,000 pounds per year.
>
>Please note that you must satisfy certain UK residency requirements to be
>eligible for the full grant. EU nationals may be eligible for a ‘fees
>only’ award. See full details on student eligibility in Annex 2 of the FSA

>The aim of the project is:
>
>· to develop experimental designs which optimize the characterization of
>dose-response relationships in various possible model systems
>· to develop experimental designs which quantify the degrees of synergy
>arising in the investigation of mixtures in various in vitro systems
>· to develop mathematical models linking the dose-response relationships
>identified and quantified using the different model systems such as
>transcriptomics and proteomics.
>
>The student would be located within the Postgraduate Medical School (PGMS)
>with close links to other departments within the University such as the
>School of Biomedical and Molecular Science (SBMS) and the School of
>Engineering and Physical Sciences (SEPS). In particular close links will
>be maintained with SBMS. The PGMS and SBMS received a 5* grade for a joint
>submission in the last RAE assessment and have active research programmes,
>such as in pharmacoepidemiology, toxicology and bioinformatics, relevant
>to the student’s project. Both Schools have large numbers of postgraduate
>students, well-developed formal training programmes and arrangements for
>the skilled supervision of research students.
