The University of Warwick is seeking to recruit an early career researcher for a PhD Fellowship in statistical approaches for integrative theoretical and experimental analytical science with application to bacterial cell division and quality by design methodologies. This is an exciting transformative PhD opportunity in Statistics for Bioanalytical Science. Successful applicants will undertake a PhD at the University of Warwick, with an international and an industrial secondment.
Description
The Centre for Analytical Science Innovative Doctoral Programme (CAS-IDP) is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network in Bioanalytical Science whose main goal is to train an international group of early stage researchers (ESRs) to deliver world-leading analytical science research under two multi-disciplinary themes:
1. Predictive modelling of bacterial cell division and
2. 'Quality by Design' of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products.
These fellowships are designed for non-UK (see eligibility) early career researchers wishing to undertake a PhD commencing in September 2013.
FUNDING: is for 3 years at approximately 62,000 Euros including mobility allowance (paid in GBP, subject to UK tax deductions)
THESIS SUBMISSION: within 4 years after registration
START DATE: 1st September, 2013
Students who will thrive in our Marie Curie Innovative Doctoral Programme will display:
Scientific knowledge across disciplines (including a first degree in any relevant subject),
Willingness to learn, technical competence, presentation skills,
A track record to deliver,
Innovation and creativity,
Team working skills,
Leadership experience, and
Ability to organize themselves and others.
ESRs will be recruited to one of 13 projects in the two themes, including Project 2.1: Statistical methodologies for maximising the information extracted from data.
More information on the projects, the supervisory teams and the CAS-IDP programme is available at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/wcas/training/cas_idp/.
The work will be carried out as part of a European Marie Curie Initial Training Network that involves regular meetings and timely delivery of results. Fellows will visit and collaborate (in secondments) with both academic and industrial partners. They will also participate in a series of planned training events and workshops covering topics such as team working and leadership, business, intellectual property, industrial biotechnology, and science communication.
