The successful applicant will work with an NIH sponsored team based at the
University with access to advice from scientists at the MRC’s LMB, to unravel
successful vaccine induced B-cell responses induced by novel HIV vaccine
candidates. This individual will select antigen specific B-cells, and amplify,
sequence and clone B-cell receptor genes induced by vaccination.
Immunoglobulin genes from B-cells capable of inducing broad neutralising
antibodies will be expressed, sequenced, and ultimately compared to germ
line lineages.

You must have a relevant PhD and lab experience in molecular biology and
immunology. Experience in monoclonal antibody technology, PCR cloning
and sequencing, and antigen selection of B-cells will be preferred. The
candidate should have good communication skills and be able to write reports
and present them at lab meetings, and international meetings with
collaborators.

CEDAR Public Health Research PhD Studentships 2011, UK

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications for PhD studentships in public health research within the Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR), a UKCRC funded Centre of Excellence in Public Health Research. The Centre is a collaboration between Medical Research Council Units in Cambridge and the Universities of Cambridge and East Anglia and is hosted by the Institute of Public Health in Cambridge.

We particularly seek candidates interested in the social and environmental determinants of physical activity and dietary behaviour and in population-based, interdisciplinary intervention research in this field. Students will be registered at the University of Cambridge or the University of East Anglia depending on their interests. The studentships within this multidisciplinary collaboration provide diverse training opportunities for all aspects of research and encourage the development of transferable academic and generic skills.

A number of three-year (‘+3′) studentships are available to commence in October 2011. These are for students who already have a Masters degree in epidemiology, public health or another relevant health or social science. It is possible that four-year (’1+3′) studentship(s) may also be available. If so, this would be for those without an appropriate Masters degree who will undertake the MPhil in Epidemiology or Public Health in Cambridge or the MRes in Environmental Social Science in Norwich during the first year of their studentship.

The minimum academic requirement for entry is a first or upper second class degree or equivalent. The studentships include college and university fees and a stipend. Full funding is available to UK nationals and UK residents. Partial funding is available to applicants from the European Economic Area (EEA).

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 January 2011
