Thanks. Andrew Webster Department of Sociology, University of York Science & Technology Studies Unit (SATSU) ESRC/PPRT Collaborative PhD CASE Studentship Applications are invited from social science students with an interest in health and the social aspects of genetics for an ESRC doctoral studentship, involving collaboration between SATSU and the Pharmacy Practice Research Trust (PPRT). The thesis will explore the ways in which recent and future developments in pharmacogenetics and ‘personalised medicine’ will shape the occupational role of the pharmacist in the hospital, the community and the high street. Applicants will need to have Master’s training background in Social Sciences and a UK or EU student status in order to receive funding. Mature students are welcome to apply. Closing date for applications is June 8 2009. Interviews will be held in London on June 29th. The project start date is 1st October 2009 to be completed within four years. The studentship will cover tuition fees (£3,390 p.a.) and a maintenance allowance of £16,940 p.a.
