PhD Fellow in Veterinary Imaging, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

/ February 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

The project will be concerned with the use of ultrasound to generate images for clinical and research use and with the extraction of quantitative data from these images. The fellowship is partly funded by the strategic initiative at KU-LIFE, CHANCE and will utilize chemometric analyses as part of its research methodology. Ultrasound images from an ongoing research project involving eels are available and further experiments will require further imaging by the Fellow in this species. In addition the PhD Fellow will be expected to identify suitable clinical patients and collect data form them at the Department´s Small Animal Hospital and perform subsequent analysis. The aim being to describe relevant clinical or physiological parameters. The research work will be based primarily at the Small Animal Hospital, however some of the research image collection may be done by the Fellow at an external research farm. In addition to the duties described below, the PhD fellow will be expected to contribute to the clinical and teaching activities of the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences. The project will provide opportunities to develop existing skills in general veterinary diagnostic imaging using digital radiography, CT, MRI, scintigraphy and in particular ultrasound. Training in image analysis and statistical analysis techniques will be an integral party of the fellowship. Principal supervision on the project will be provided by the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences with additional supervision provided by the CHANCE initiative.

Eligibility Criteria:
– A master´s degree related to the subject area of the project
– The grade point average achieved
-Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD programme
-Previous publications
-Relevant work experience
-Other professional activities
-Language skills
– Communication and collaborative skills
-Marks obtained during the first year of study on the master programme (only relevant for applicants applying for a 4-year scholarship)

Studentships in MPhil in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, UK

/ February 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Wellcome Trust, in partnership with the University of Cambridge and GlaxoSmithKline, have funded an interdisciplinary training programme in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (TMAT) with the objective of creating a cadre of outstanding clinical scientists with the skills to ‘translate science into medicines’. A key aspect of the Training is the MPhil course in TMAT consisting of taught modules by leading academics and clinicians across Cambridge and GSK, two exams, one project and a final dissertation. The curriculum covers all aspects of TMAT, from basic pharmacological principles and drug development, to designing and running clinical trials. Each student will work closely with a supervisor to develop a tailored training programme. Every year students will have opportunities to apply to continue their training to doctoral level.

Students will be based at the Addenbrooke’s Centre for Clinical Investigation. This building was funded by the MRC, BHF, Wellcome Trust and GSK to promote collaboration among its constituent University, NHS, and GSK groups.

Entry Requirements
This course is open to medical and non-medical graduates. Basic entry requirements are mandatory. A first degree of at least 2i honours form a UK University or equivalent demonstration of academic capability is required. Non-medical applicants generally have degrees in a quantitative science or a health related area. Other applicants will be judged on an individual basis depending on relevant previous experience.
