ESRC PhD Studentship Multicentre Research Consortium
Migration, Nutrition and Ageing across the Lifecourse in Bangladeshi Families: A Transnational Perspective (MINA)
Centre for Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy
Migration has a tremendous impact on those who move to a new environment. The overall aim is to investigate migration, nutrition, and ageing via an intergenerational and transnational project incorporating multidisciplinary methodologies. One little studied aspect of this is the change in diet and health care of such populations. The PhD project focuses specifically on the use of plant based food supplements, herbal remedies and foods in Bangladeshi communities in the UK (London and Cardiff) and in Bangladesh. The student will work both in the UK and Bangladesh, interviewing women about these topics, investigate the community use of herbal products and foods and develop a book / booklet for disseminating the information. Overall, the present study will allow us to gain an in-depth understanding of Bangladeshi women's nutritional status, food practices, beliefs and experiences of ageing in the UK and in Bangladesh. One explicit goal of the project is the development of tools to disseminate the knowledge gained in the project in the Bangladeshi communities in the UK, and to health care practitioners working with Bangladeshi communities. See www.bris.ac.uk/news/2008/6048.html
Funding:The successful candidate will be offered an ESRC-funded studentship subject to final budgetary approval by ESRC. The ESRC's requirements in terms of UK residential status must be met for the award of a full studentship. Students with EU status are only eligible for a tuition fee award.
Entry requirements:Applicants must have an upper second or first class honours degree in pharmacy, health or social sciences (preferably anthropology), or another appropriate field. Knowledge of Bengali will be an advantage.
Deadline:Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the post is filled.

PhD studentship
Pharmaceutics
Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology
A PhD Studentship is available immediately with the aim to identify biopharmaceutical issues that have impact in preclinical and clinical study design and to develop in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) for orally administered formulations (supervised by Dr Nikoletta Fotaki).
The Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology at the University of Bath is a top rated, internationally renowned Department (RAE 5*A) that is committed to supporting excellence in research.
A PhD studentship is offered within the area of Pharmaceutics.
Oral drug absorption is a dynamic complex process comprising of several competitive components. Understanding and anticipating the mechanisms and factors affecting the absorption are of great importance for the pharmaceutical sciences as in this way precise in vitro techniques can be designed for the prediction of the oral drug absorption. As most formulations are administered in solid form, the dissolution process is one of the important limiting steps for the entire absorption process.
Formulations in which the drug is incorporated in the amorphous state have drawn the attention of pharmaceutical scientists lately. These formulations can be a possible solution to overcome the problem of the poor solubility that most of the new chemical entities present, as the amorphous state present higher solubility and dissolution rate compared with the crystalline state. Characterisation of their dissolution performance in conditions which are relevant to in vivo conditions is crucial in order to evaluate behaviour during dissolution and to predicting in vivo performance.
The study aims to identify biopharmaceutical issues that have impact in preclinical and clinical study design and to develop in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) for these formulations.
The studentship is for 3 years.
If you would like to express your interest by sending a CV and to discuss the research area, please contact Dr Nikoletta Fotaki [Tel: +44 (0)1225 386728, e-mail: n.fotaki@bath.ac.uk]

Research Studentship leading to PhD: Metal analysis in herbal remedies
Pharmaceutical Chemistry
The School of Pharmacy is offering a full time Research Studentship leading to the award of PhD to commence April 2009 in metal analysis of herbal remedies. The current level of the studentship is £12,940 per year for 3 years; home fees and consumables are also covered. You will work in a team headed by Prof. Andrew Hutt under the supervision of Dr. Jacqueline Stair. At present, herbal remedies placed on the market in the UK before April 30, 2004 are not required to meet any specific standards of safety or quality until 2011. Once specific standards are in place, metal testing following Pharmacopeia methods often lack sensitivity and specificity and are only implemented once a problem is reported. As such there still remains a need to fully characterise the metal content in these available remedies and assess their bioavailability taken orally. This project in collaboration with the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) in India aims to address these issues.
Applications are open to good honours graduates in pharmacy, chemistry or a related discipline.
Any enquiries should be made by contacting: Dr Jacqueline Stair J.Stair@herts.ac.uk 01707 286367 or Jill Kilvington, j.kilvington@herts.ac.uk 01707 285269.Please apply online at www.herts.ac.uk/courses/how-to-apply/

Fully funded PhD Studentship
New Green Technologies for Organocatalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation Applications in Synthesis
School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy
This fully funded studentship is available to start in October 2009, under the supervision of Prof Phil Page, in the internationally recognised School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, UEA Norwich (RAE 5). The project is funded by the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy.
UK/EU APPLICANTS ONLY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS FUNDING (this is because of the eligibility rules of the funding body)
Project description:
FUNDING IS AVAILABLE FOR UK/EU STUDENTS. FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT WILL COVER TUITION FEES AND STIPEND FOR UK STUDENTS, EU STUDENTS WILL NORMALLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR TUITION FEES ONLY. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS FUNDING; THEY ARE STILL WELCOME TO APPLY FOR THIS PROJECT BUT WOULD HAVE TO FIND ALTERNATIVE FUNDING. The central aim of this proposal is to design a novel scalable organocatalytic system for asymmetric oxidation, that can be driven by any of a range of stoicheiometric oxidants, that will have generic efficacy, that will provide high selectivity, that will not involve the use of toxic and/or scarce heavy metals, and that will produce very little waste material. We intend to apply these findings to the synthesis of challenging natural products and biologically active compounds. The chemistry builds on a procedure recently developed in our laboratories, permitting catalytic enantioselective oxygen transfer to alkenes over a short timescale, in the presence of as little as 0.1 mol% of catalyst. The catalysts are readily-prepared iminium salts, which are indefinitely stable at room temperature. In recent experimentation we have achieved ees of over 97% in very clean 1 hour reactions carried out at 0 ºC.
