MA Scholarships for International Students in History at University of Leeds, UK

All of the following are available to UK, EU and International postgraduates applying to study in the School of History, University of Leeds. Figures quoted reflect the 2011/12 UK / EU fee rates. 2012/13 fees for UK / EU students will probably be set in April and are likely to increase substantially due to changes in government fundingt. Thanks to a generous donation from the late Professor Maurice Beresford, we can offer three Beresford MA scholarships this year (offered for the last year in 2011/12):
The Beresford MA Scholarships are for full fees at the UK/EU rate plus a partial maintenance grant (pro rata over 2 years for part time students). International scholarship holders may opt to amalgamate the scholarship into one payment as a substantial contribution towards International fees or may choose to receive the UK/EU arrangement which would cover £4,200 of your fees and provide you with an additional funding as a maintenance contribution.
Eligibility:
In order to be eligible to be considered for these scholarships, you must:
-have applied, and received an offer, for a place in the School of History or the Institute for Medieval Studies *
-have supplied us with copies of transcripts from previous degrees and one academic reference by the deadline in late June 2011
-have fulfilled our entry requirements before official acceptance of any scholarship
-be starting your course in the next academic year (2011/12)
not already have an MA in History

Scholarship Application Deadline: Late June 2011.

Research Associate Position in the School of Biomedical Sciences, King’s College, London

Applications are invited for the position of Research Associate in the Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics within the School of Biomedical Sciences at King’s College London.
How cells regulate and execute cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, remain major unsolved questions in biology. Cytokinesis requires the coordinated action of the cytoskeleton, the cell cycle and membrane machineries. The Eggert lab uses chemical biology approaches to study cytokinesis at the process, pathway and protein levels. This two and a half year post will focus on investigating the role of Rho signalling during cell division and related processes. The Rho pathway is responsible for regulating many important cellular events, including cytokinesis. We recently completed a high throughput small molecule screen and identified small molecules that target Rho signalling (Castoreno et al., Nature Chemical Biology, 2010). We also completed a genome-wide RNAi screen to identify interactors of the Rho pathway. The goal of the postdoctoral fellow working on this project will be to understand the mechanism of action of small molecule and/or RNAi hits. Techniques will include cell biology and imaging, biochemistry and small molecule perturbations.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 23 May 2011
