Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Structured PhD Programme University College Dublin Ireland. We are currently recruiting for the last few positions in the prestigious Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Structured PhD Programme based in University College Dublin, Ireland. There are excellent postgraduate opportunities for EU resident students with a good degree in a numerate discipline to receive an interdisciplinary 4-year PhD training in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, based in Dublin (funded through IRCSET GREP and by SFI). The remaining project areas span statistics, systems biology, regulation of gene expression, genetic polymorphism, analysis of proteomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, glycomic data, protein structural modeling and drug discovery with funding provided for students with a strong interest in interdisciplinary training. Applications are invited from students with backgrounds in various disciplines, particularly with experience of modeling (e.g. statistics, mathematics, computer science, chemical engineering, and physics) and the biological life sciences. Students will receive a tax-free stipend of €18,000, a €4,000 computing allowance including PC/laptop purchase, and annual budgets for laboratory consumables, conferences and publications. Projects will focus predominantly on computational aspects of biomedicine, but will also involve wet lab experience and a temporary international placement. The programme thus offers education in a wide range of skills, from laboratory to mathematical and computational, as well as international work experience. The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 31st August 2010 Programme details and application form available at: http://bioinformatics.ucd.ie/PhD/ For further inquiries contact Bronagh Carey: [log in to unmask] You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
